Snake Oil
Gather ‘round peoplegrab your neighbor too
I got something right here
good for all of you
Are you feelin’ poorly
like you’re close to death?
Got ingrown nails?
Do ya have bad breath?
Are there places on your head
where the hair don’t sprout?
Can’t sleep at night
or got a bad case of gout?
Well I got the remedy!
Yes I got the cure!
Work for all of you
Of that I am sure
The answer is simple
No it ain’t complex
Just 3 little letters
and the last is ‘x’
Yes 3 little letters
and the last is ‘x’
Do you get up often
in the middle of the night?
Do you got bad gas?
Are you losing your sight?
Do you snore so loud
makes your wife’s ears ring?
Well for both of you
I got just the thing
You see the cure is simple
No it ain’t complex
Just 3 little letters
and the last is ‘x’
Yes 3 little letters
and the last is ‘x’
Do you got a club foot?
How about a bad back?
Afraid to leave the house
or step on a crack?
Do you see stars
when you close your eyes?
Well the antidote
won’t come a surprise
It’ll put money in the bank
and make you grow tall
A bit overweight?
No problem at all!
It’ll make the sun shine
And the rain go away
Like sweet Lady Luck
it will make your day!
See the answer is simple
The cure ain’t complex
but against all ills
it surely protects
So come a bit closer
let me give it to you
If you’re good and ready
here’s all you gotta do…
