Teal for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laughs. Teal, teal, teal, the amazing liquid dendafus. That's it. Teal, teal. The amazing liquid dendafus brings you the life of Riley with William Bendig's as Riley.
Remember friends for a beautiful smile, the teal, teal. I just for laughs it's our eye, le y Riley, and the life of Riley. Tester A. Riley, gentleman, riveter, and husband, slaves away conscientiously to provide for his little family. But occasionally the man becomes a boy again, and on this beautiful spring day instead of going to work, Riley spent the day fishing with his friend and
co-worker Jim Gillis. Now they're heading for home. Yes, well they, wasn't it, Riley? Yeah, Gillis, full of relaxing relaxation. This was sure better than working with me. Hey, yeah, really? Did you get up enough knives to tell your wife you was gone fishing?
Oh, no, no. Not that I'm afraid of my wife, but I was so busy this morning, sneaking out of the house with the fishing rod down my pant leg. I kind of forgot. Did you tell your wife?
No. And after I'm afraid of my wife either, I was going to tell her when I kissed her goodbye. But I had the fish hooks in my mouth. Listen, Riley, I'll make a deal. If you don't mention it to my wife, I won't mention it to yours.
It's a deal. Just like in the old saying, ignorance is bliss when your wife is ignorant. Now, Flint, I'm home. How's about a kiss for the Lord and Monster? Hello, dear. Riley, your face is all red.
Why don't you get that sunburn? Oh, down at the... It ain't sunburn. I'm blushing on account of the kiss. After all these years, you're still blush when you kiss me? Well, you see, it's a hangover from when I was courting you.
