Thank you for this post, Rita.  I haven't thought of that Carolina rice song for 40 years.

Ring Around thge collar

I love Bosco
It's the drink for me
Chocolate flavored Bosco
Is mighty good for me.
Mama puts it in my milk
For extra energy.
Bosco gives me iron
And sunshine Vitamnin D.
Oh I love Bosco
It's the drink for me!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Down down down the stomach through
Round round round the system too
With Alka Seltzer you're sure to say
Relief is just. . .
A swallow away!
-------------------------------------------------------------
You'll wonder where
The yellow went
When you brush your teeth
With Pepsodent!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Use Wildroot Creme Oil, Charlie
It makes your hair "rinse trim"
You see it's non-alcoholic, Charlie
It's made with soothing lanolin
------------------------------------------------------------
Old Spice means quality
Said the captain to the "boat'son"
So look for the package
With the ship that sails the ocean!
-------------------------------------------------------------
How are ya fixed for blades?
(Do you have plenty?)
How are ya fixed for blades?
(Better check!)
Please make sure you have enough
'Cause a worn out blade
Makes havin' mighty tough
How are ya fixed for blades?
(Better look!)
Gillette Blue Blades we mean!!

Makes havin' mighty tough
-------------------------------------------------------------
No, no, NO. . .makes SHAVIN' mighty tough!!!!

Geezz!!

I hate Bosco

Bosco hates me.

Mommy put it in my milk to try to poison me

But I fooled Mommy,

Put it in her tea.

Now I have no Mommy to

Try to poison me!

I'm Chiquita Banana and I'm here to say

You can get rid of your teacher the easy way!

Just eat a banana; throw the peel on the floor

And watch the teacher go sliding out the door!

Once upon a time there was a Cuban queer.

Fidel Castro was his name we hear.

He had an island and he sure had fun

Using bullets and machine guns to make the people run.

 

Sorry, its my poor upbringing by nuns and early sixties politics.

First you have to clean rice to make it worthwhile.
Pressure-cooked, southern or oriental style
--------------------------------------------------------------
The way I remember the first line is:

"There's 3 ways to boil rice to make it worthwhile". . .

. . .which makes sense when coupled with the 2nd line.

The jingle began with:

"I come from Carolina, so pardon my drawl
I'm here to mention long grain rice to you all."

I haven't seen Carolina Rice for quite a while.  Condoleezza Rice, on the other hand. . .

Marty, on reflection I also remember the last two lines as:

 

"Serve it in a dozen ways, take my advice.

For quality and nourishment it's Carolina rice!"

 

But the song did change on occasion.  Internet quotes of the song have different lyrics and vary, strangely.

I remember both versions of the last line.

Now please explain Uncle Ben's Converted Rice.

Converted to what?  From what??

Uncle Ben was Baptist before he converted.

If you want your hair to be

Fresh and pure and so refined

You've got to use Sulfa 8.

It's great!

 

Shafer

 is the

one beer to have

when you're having more than one!

I think you mean "Schaefer."

Which reminds me of a classic New York urban legend. . .maybe an actual on-air "blooper," maybe not. . .involving another long-gone New York brew, Ruppert Knickerbocker Beer.

You may remember the slogan "knock, knock for Knickerbocker."

Well, supposedly Jayne Mansfield was appearing on a broadcast (no pun intended) sponsored by the aforementioned beer. . .and when it came time for the commercial, the announcer is said to have intoned. . .

"Knock, knock for bigger knockers."
