HAH! i use to play this song on youtube for the neighbor kids i babysat and i got all the hood kids to sing this (much to their parental unit's chagrin!!!)....i also got them singing 'fish heads' too!!! though i think the parental units appreciated the singing better than the time i gave all the kids a huge bag of new year blow horns!!!!

The copy:

A General Electric Range simplifies the art of good cooking. Without specialized cooking skill you can serve delicious meals that will turn delicate appetites into roaring, robust hunger, that will tempt the most finicky taste.

The automatically controlled precision temperatures of a G-E Range eliminate failures. Health giving vitamins and all the delicious natural flavors of foods are served at the table - not cooked away in the kitchen.

General Electric, the world's largest manufacturer of electrical products - the leader in electrical research and development for more than half a century has modernized electric cookery. the famous G-E Hi-Speed Calrod heating unit gives swifter and far more economical cooking heat - is more durable and lasts longer.

In easy utility, in matchless performance, in outstanding beauty, General Electric Automatic Electric Ranges are years ahead - yet you pay no premium. G-E prices are low - no more than you might pay for an ordinary electric range.

General Electric Ranges are beautifully styled in the modern mode of kitchen design. They can be placed flush against the walls and adjoining cabinets. General Electric Company, Specialty Appliance Dept. Sec. M7 Nola Park, Cleveland, Ohio.

I was curious to see if there was any hint of the slang expressions used in the headline in the rest of the ad. Clearly, not.

However, according to THIS (http://www.ioffer.com/i/1935-ge-ad-black-americana-boy-fried-chicken-yo-next-76139381), some person in Phoenix who is selling some pristine version of this ad, it's dated from 1935. They got their copy from a magazine of vintage ads.

The seller offering it suggesting "it would look great matted and framed for display or would make a unique gift" states that maybe things haven't changed much in 77 years.
