Are you Older than Dirt?

Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Your clothes may be beau brummelly
They stand out a mile
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters

They stand out a mile
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters
The lovely Boylan sisters
So, Senator, so, Janitor
So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear

So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Though you may wear the best
You're never fully dressed without a
Smile, you're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed without a

Yes! You were thinking of “Oh, Brother Where Art Thou”?
 
I also remember home delivery of blocks of ice for the "ice box."

That's going back in time, before Do you remember too?!!

I am probably the oldest person here...and I remembered everything on the list except Butch Wax. What in hell was that?

I'm kinda proud I remember all that stuff. I'm lucky to get through a day where I don't have to admit to someone that I forgot his/her name.

Yes, Hispanics in the area are a big market for these products. The large Hispanic super markets are also very interesting--I've never heard of most of the stuff in the produce department.
Houston has a lot of great ethnic markets. I love the bakery at the local Mexican market.
 
Butch wax was mostly used by guys with crew cuts. Made their hair stand up right.

I may not be older than dirt. But it was still new when I got here.
