The Old Spice jingle was adapted by Ginger Johnson (a pseudonym of Austen Croom-Johnson) from a traditional bagpipe melody, "Scotland the Brave," in March 1953.  The lyrics are:

Yo-Ho! Yo-Ho! 
Brushless or lather boys, whichever you've the notion. 
Fifty cents for shaving cream, a dollar for the lotion. 
"Old Spice means quality," said the captain to the boson. 
So look for the package with the ship that sails the ocean. 
Yo-Ho! Yo-Ho!
