Ladies and gentlemenattention please
Come in close so everyone can see
I got a tale to tell
A listen don t cost a dime
And if you believe that we re gonna get along just fine

Now I ve been travelin all around
I heard trouble s come to your town
Well I ve got a little somethin
Guaranteed to ease your mind
It s call Snake Oil y all
It s been around for a longlong time

Sayyour crops ll burn if it don t rain soon
Ain t seen a drop since the tenth of June
Well I can open up the sky
People never fear
If you ain t impressed yetjust tell me what you wanna hear

Well you lost your farm so you moved to town
You get a jobthey shut the factory down
Now you sit around all day long feelin sad and blue
You need Snake Oil y alltell you what I m gonna do

I can heal the sickI can mend the lame
And the blind shall see againit s all the same

Well ain t your President good to you
Knocked em dead in LibyaGrenada too
Now he s taking his show a little further down the line
Well tween me and him peopleyou re gonna get along just fine
