Come all you gallant housewives dat have a weekly wash,
New blue Tide with Bluinite will make yer clothes real posh.
Oh what is bluer dan de blue, or whiter dan de white?
It's yer father's shirt boiled overnight in Tide's new Bluinite.
If you want to see de livin' proof it's Tide what washes best,
Go to de nearest window and apply de window test;
Hold up yer Tide washed garment, you'll say "Well I'll be blest"
You can see de daylight streaming through de holes in Granny's vest.
For de really scruffy family, dere's de giant economy pack;
T'ree tons for Five Pounds Seven & Six, delivered round the back.
It's delicious spread on sandwiches, write for our recipe;
And it's very good for the shareholders in the Hedley company.
