Teal for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laughs. Teal, T-E-E-L, teal, the amazing liquid dendafress. That's it. Teal, E-E-L, teal, the amazing liquid dendafress brings you the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley.
Remember friends, for beautiful smiles, it's T-E-E-L, teal, and just for laughs, it's R-I-L-E-Y, Riley in the life of Riley. A good money of Chester A. Riley's headaches arise from the fact that he takes such good care of everybody else's business.
Even Riley's mother who is here in California for a short visit is not exempt from his medley. Our story opens with Riley and his 16 year old daughter Babs. It's no use beds, you can't have another lipstick, you've got a lipstick.
But daddy, all the kids are getting the new lipstick. It's called tantalizing red. The ad says, today, tantalizing red lips, a sign of sophisticated beauty. That's today, huh? Well, in my day, girls didn't need no lipstick.
They just ate hamburgers with lots of ketchup. Maybe it wasn't sophisticated, but it sure tasted better. Don't be an old fogey, Daddy. Nowadays, all girls use makeup. I know a girl that don't use makeup. My mother, you don't see her putting paint on her lips and shellac on her claws with red varnish.
Red varnish. Well, after all, Daddy grandma is 60 years old. Yeah. And getting prettier every day. I'm in here, Mom. Just take a look at your grandma if you want to see a girl that don't buy her good looks in the paint store.
All right, me. Your mother has something to tell you. Just just a guesspot. Wait, Mom. Stand just where you are. Babes, ain't she beautiful? Just like a painting by Whistler's mother. So on with the beginning.
