Snake Oil

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

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

I've got a little somethin'

Guaranteed to ease your mind

It's call 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

Get a job they shut the factory down

Now you sit around all day long feelin' sad and blue

You need snake oil y'all tell you what I'm gonna 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 that show a little further down the line

'Tween me and him people you're gonna get along just fine hup

It's called snake oil y'all

Snake oil y'all

Ah snake oil y'all

Called snake oil y'all

It's called snake oil y'all

It's been around a long long time
