Teal for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laugh. Teal, T-E-E-L, Teal, the amazing liquid dendipras. That's it. T-E-E-L. The amazing liquid dendipras brings you the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley.

Remember friends for a beautiful smile, it's T-E-E-L, Teal, and right now it's the life of Riley. Riley! Well, it's a bright Saturday afternoon. An hour ago, Chester A. Riley came home with his pay envelope.

And since Mrs. Riley has been on her feet doing housework all week, they ever thought for Riley made her get all dressed up and took her out for a big time. Yes, sir, Peg, there's nothing like a good walk in a park.

Here, uh, have some more peanuts. Oh, thanks, dear. And when he gets through with the peanuts, I got a bag of popcorn in my pocket. When a first popsicle man comes along, he's got a sucker.

Yeah, when I take my little wife out, money's no object. Oh Riley, my feet are killing me. Let's sit down on a bench somewhere. I wonder where they all got to. There used to be some mini-bensions.

Well, we'll come to one soon. I love this park. It's beautiful. Hmm. Be a lot more beautiful if they didn't have a political poster on every tree. Look at that. Isn't that awful? I'm gonna collect Joseph Barton for Park Supervisor on every tree.

Something ought to be done about this. Tag, tag, leave politics and politicians. But I think a politician ought to- No, Peg. Why mix into something that ain't your line? Take for instance, a, a delicate tussle man.

Would you tell him how to run his business? No. Because he knows more about baloney than you do. And the same thing goes for politicians. It is my business. It's everybody's business. People only get the kind of government they deserve.
