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 
Well I've got a little somethin' 
Guaranteed to ease your mind 
It's call Snake Oil why y'all 
It's been around for a long, long time 

Say, 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 never fear 
If you ain't impressed yet, just 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 feelin' sad and blue 
You need Snake Oil why y'all, tell you what I'm gonna do 

I can heal the sick, 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 
Well, 'tween me and him people, you're gonna get along just fine
