A somewhat similar and recently popular song gets still gets played occasionally on the CW radio stations, and is considered a "Trucking Song" by a few other broadcasters.


GIRL ON THE BILLBOARD
Written by Walter Haynes & Hank Mills.
As sung by Del Reeves

Doo da doo, doo doo, doo da doo, doo doo

1. Who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway?
Rollin' down the highway in my Jimmy haulin' freight
From Chicago to St. Louie, Lord, I see her every day.
Aw, a double-clutchin' weasel like me
Can hardly ever get a girl to look at him that-a-way,
Smilin' like the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway.

2. Well, what a girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway!
I bet it wouldn't take her very long to be gone
If someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away.
I slow my Jimmy down to twenty.
That's how many wrecks I see there ev'ry day,
Caused by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway.

A doo da doo, doo doo, doo da doo, doo doo

3. Oh, I love the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway.
I guess I'm gettin' bolder 'cause I'd rather kiss and hold 'er
Than just keep lookin' at her ev'ry day
At four-forty-five, coffee-drinkin'-eatin' time,
Jimmy shimmied while I woke up the artist that painted the display
Of the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway.

4. Doggone that girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway!
Sleepy-headed painter said the girl wasn't real
And I'd better get the ---- on my way.
On Route 66 from the billboard to Chicago,
You'll find tiny pieces of my heart scattered ev'ry which-a-way,
Shattered by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big old highway.

A doo da doo, doo doo, doo da doo, doo doo, dee da dee, dee doo
