Snake Oil for Warts
[Verse 1]
Well Kristi Love and Jeremy
And their dad named Allen too,
Got a shiny little wagon
Painted red and robin blue.
They roll from town to town
With a bottle and a chart,
Say, “Step right up, folks gather ‘round —
We got Snake Oil for Warts!”
[Verse 2]
They say the secret recipe
Is locked up in a vault,
The ingredients are mystery —
But the flavor ain’t their fault.
Pour it on some ice cream
Or spread it on a tart,
“Breakfast, lunch and dinner folks —
It’s Snake Oil for Warts!”
[Chorus]
Snake Oil for Warts, ninety-five a jar,
Buy yourself five and you’ll travel real far.
Three spoons a meal from the very first start,
It’s tasty on ice cream — Snake Oil for Warts!
No refunds given, use at your own risk,
Might cure your troubles — or make you feel brisk.
Kristi, Jeremy, Allen with a cart —
Selling Snake Oil for Warts!
Verse 3
Now the F D A ain’t seen it
And they probably never will,
But the trio says it works
If you’ve got faith and dollar bills.
From Texas up to Boston
They’re becoming quite the art,
A traveling family business —
Selling Snake Oil for Warts.
Verse 4
So if you see their wagon
Rolling slow along the road,
With bottles clinking softly
In a wooden traveling load—
Just remember what they told you
Right before you start:
“No guarantees, but it sure tastes great —
This Snake Oil for Warts!”
[Chorus]
Snake Oil for Warts, ninety-five a jar,
Buy yourself five and you’ll travel real far.
Three spoons a meal from the very first start,
It’s tasty on ice cream—Snake Oil for Warts!
No refunds given, use at your own risk,
Might cure your troubles—or make you feel brisk.
Kristi, Jeremy, Allen with a cart —
Selling Snake Oil for Warts!
[Outro]
No refunds given, that’s right from the start,
Use it with courage and follow your heart.
Whing boppy, bing stoppy, tate rattle, smirk
Woops poppy, sling sloppy. A trio with cart —
Whoopy
Snake Oil for Warts, Snake Oil for Warts, ninety-five a jar,
Buy yourself five and you’ll travel real far.
Three spoons a meal from the very first start,
It’s tasty on ice cream—Snake Oil for Warts!
Snake Oil for Warts.
