AS GOD IS MY WITNESS ...
Richard Sanders (Les Nessman) cowrote the episode in which funeral director C) Randall Ferryman wanted to target a younger crowd via the airwaves of "WKRP in Cincinnati":
Hey, you're young and swingin',
No time to think about tomorrow
But there ain't no way to deny it
Someday, you're gonna buy it.
Plan today,
Go for a Ferryman
Tomorrow!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
He's the man with the plot, the man with the plan!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
He's the mortician man who loves you!
A lot!
