Does anyone else know this song?

There's an old song we used to sing at Boy Scout campfires called, "Shaving Cream," the chorus of which went:
Shaving cream, be nice and clean,
shave every day and you'll always look keen.

There were several verses to this. Every verse ended its rhyme with --it. I can only remember one such verse anymore. It goes:
My sister, she died very badly;
she died of a terrible fit.
She fell over screaming and raving
and drowned in a bucket of sh--aving cream, be nice and clean,
shave every day and you'll always look keen.

Does anybody know any more verses to this song?
