Corsets and Candy Cigarettes

Where are my old white corsets
  Right next to your candy cigarettes

Hey! We didn't get today's edition of 'Grit'
  It's canceled. They use bad words now like 'Guck' and 'Spit'

Oh, and I can't seem to find my orange Pez dispenser
  I threw it out. They've proved that Pez causes cancer

By the way, have you seen the Sunday funnies
  They're a no-go, ever since they canceled 'Pogo'

You know I've got two tickets for the Brooklyn Dodgers
  Ha, ha, ha! Even Sandy Koufax is just an old codger

Then I'm going cruising in my new Studebaker
  --with that benchwarmer from the Minneapolis Lakers?

Before I forget, don't throw away my bottle of royal blue ink
  Ball point pens been around since '38, sister, even in pink 

So you shan't think me old-fashioned, I just bought a brand-new TV!
  -Yeah, a nine-inch black-and-white with vacuum tubes that smile at me

But I paid for it with five million Wheaties box tops!
  That's crazy... I think I'll start collecting used lemon drops...
