Fugazzi Grand II : SNL (#731)

731.  (Big Brawn Feminine Napkins ... Sept 28, 1996)

That beard ...




















Jingle
Now, up in the woods there's a choppin' and a sawin'
There's a log-cuttin' man by the name of Big Brawn.
Big Brawn. Big Brawn. Big Bad Brawn. 

He turns wood to pulp, like paper through a shredder
There ain't a bigger man who can do it any better.
And Big Brawn knows it takes the finest pulp
To make a feminine napkin that can take a big gulp.
Big Brawn. Big Brawn. Big Bad Brawn. 

Now, the ladies want freedom and to feel secure,
Big Brawn Napkins are mighty thirstier.
They sop up a mess the size of a lake,
Go on, pretty lady, let the little damn break.
Super-absorbant, and straight from the tree. 

Pretty Lady: "It's like a big friendly lumberjack between your knees! 

Jingle
Big Brawn. Big Brawn. Feminine Napkins.
