    Brylcream, the Enigma. A vintage billboard extolling brilliantine, pomade, that winning glop of water and mineral oil stabilised with beeswax.

    Bryl-creem, a little dab’ll do ya,
    Use more, only if you dare,
    But watch out,
    The gals will all pursue ya,–
    They’ll love to put their fingers through your hair.

    Bryl-creem, a little dab’ll do ya,
    Bryl-creem, you’ll look so debonair.
    Bryl-creem, the gals will all pursue ya,
    They’ll love to RUN their fingers through your hair.
