Jim’s Rant For The Day. Don’t Buy The Bar-B-Que Grill. . .

I am going crazy today because I can’t get that grill warning out of my head.

In my senior year of High School I joined the school chorus. One day before class a fellow baritone came in singing this stanza to the music of Down By The Riverside. At that time I was not familiar with the song Riverside, I just thought Paul had a catchy tune to sing.

This is what he sang that I recall:

When you go down to the Western Auto store

Don’t buy the bar-B-Que grill,

Don’t buy the bar-B-Que grill,

a don’t buy the bar-B-Que grill,

When you go down to the Western Auto store

a don’t buy the bar-B-Que grill anymore.

Whenever we saw each other around school we always broke into a round of it together.

Those were fun times.
