Snake Oil

One

Two

Three

Four

Pass me that can o' oil there

Oh, I like that echo

It goes right through my head, just like it

I had that happen once but

It's chemically induced

One, two

One, two, three, four

Ladies and gentlemen, attention please

Come in close so everyone can see

I got a tale to tell, a listen don't cost a dime

If you believe that, we're going to get along just fine

Now I've been travelin' all around

I heard trouble's come to your town

I got a little somethin'

Guaranteed to ease your mind

It's called Snake Oil, y'all

It's been around for a long, long time

Well, your crops will 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 have no fear

If you ain't impressed yet

Tell me what you want to hear

Well, you lost your farm so you moved to town

You get a job, they shut the factory down

Now you sit around all day long feeling sad and blue

You need Snake Oil, y'all

To tell you what I'm going to do

Step right up!

I can heal the sick and I can mend the lame

And the blind shall see again, it's all the same

Well, ain't your President good to you?

Knocked 'em dead in Libya, Grenada too

Now he's taking his show a little further down the line

Between me and him, people

You're going to get along just fine

It's called Snake Oil y'all

Snake Oil y'all, Snake Oil y'all

Called Snake Oil y'all

It's called Snake Oil y'all

It's been around for a long, long time
