Oh, it's living the life of Riley, when for Pat Blue Ribbon you call. Finance beer served anywhere, there's nothing like it at all. Oh, north, north, north, south, or east, or west, when Pat Blue Ribbon you drink.
You're far and a beer you know is best, so let the glasses clink. You're living the life of Riley, when for Pat Blue Ribbon you call, when for Pat Blue Ribbon you call. Popsed, Blue Ribbon, finest beer served, anywhere.
Proudly presents The Life of Riley, starring William Bendix as Riley. Well, Thanksgiving is barely over, and for most people it was a pleasant holiday. It worked out fine in the Riley household, but for a while things got a bit out of hand.
It all started a few days ago. Five cents a pound, we need enough for about four people. Oh, better just make it for three dads. Now, wait a minute, Babs, what do you mean three?
I'll make it just for two, I'm going on a hike with a gang Thanksgiving day. And I'm having dinner with the girls at my sorority. No, just a minute, just a minute. Both of you kids.
You ain't going no place. Thanksgiving ain't like any other dinner, and next Thursday you're going to be sitting at that table and be thankful. Or you wish you'll never been born. Now you better go and cancel your dates.
But Dad, I... Right now. Oh, alright, I'll break it. Oh, and Gee, we can never go anywhere. Yeah, I guess that'll learn them. Riley, don't you think you were a little too tough on him?
Well, maybe. But to me, Thanksgiving is something special. The kids today don't have any sentiment. I believe one day a year a guy should take stock and be thankful for his blessing. You're right, dear.
