Teal for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laughs. Teal, T-E-E-L, Teal, the amazing liquid dendafress. That's it. Te-E-E-L. The amazing liquid dendafress brings you the life of Riley, with William Bandic's as Riley.

Remember friends for a beautiful smile, it's T-E-E-L, Teal, and just collapse, it's our eye, L-E-Y Riley, and the life of Riley. Chester A. Riley is a considerate husband, always willing to take over all his family's little worries. Thus leaving the big worries for his wife. Tonight Mrs. Riley, like many a housekeeper these days, is worried about finding a place to live, but Riley is concerned

with other matters. Riley, this is serious. The landlord's put our house up for sale if we don't buy it somebody else will and then what do we do? Hey, I'm worried. Well I should think so.

Ten o'clock and junior ain't home yet. Never mind Junior. What about this house? Not even leaving word where he's going, so does parents shouldn't worry. I never worried my poor mother. When I went out of the house to play, I always left word what day I'd be home.

I was seldom more than a couple of days off. Where can Junior be? Oh, he'll be home any minute. Why don't you worry about finding a place to live? How do we know our Junior isn't robbing a bank at this very minute?

Maybe the same bank I keep my money in. I'm running. I'm warning you. I will not go through another eviction. No, sounds good. Have I ever neglected my duty as head of the house? Ain't I always been the breadwinner? That is when you could get bread.
