Covered wagon, medicine show.
Take you to the place where the healing flows.
Weak in spirit we got the juice,
Won't save your soul, it`ll shine your shoes.
Treated king to kangaroo,
Santa Fe to Timbuktu.
Don`t be fooled by imitation,
This is the stuff that cured a nation.
We took the tube and the high plains too,
Never stopped long just passing through.
A drop of the laughter of the maids of France
Makes a hopeless cripple dance

It was really vile weather,
When we got to tarred and feathered.
You could hear the six guns sound,
As they chased us out of town.

In India we`re all the rave.
Discovered that its great as aftershave.
Dropped in the sea just off Japan,
Swapped 20 bottles for an aqua-walkman.
Immunity from ridicule,
Improves your brains if you`re a fool.
And I read in the Middle East
They traded some for a hostage release.
Now if you`re bald it`ll give you hair,
If you got straight trousers it`ll give you flares.
Feeling up, you`ll get depressed.
Out of style? Here`s a brand new dress

It was really vile weather,
When we got to tarred and feathered.
You could hear the six guns sound,
As they chased us out of town.

The stuff we sell is just the best,
Passing all consumer tests.
Days of heaven, nights of sin,
Voodoo stick and sharks fin.
When all around you seems like hell,
Just one sip will make you well.
Multipurpose in a jar,
If you ain`t ill it`ll fix your car.
In days of yore for all bad feelings,
Washing socks and stripping ceilings.
Nowadays its used medicinally
For all known human malady.

It was really vile weather,
When we got to tarred and feathered.
You could hear the six guns sound,
As they chased us out of town.

Guaranteed don`t you know?
Money back?
You`ll get a no!
It`s the one and only medicine show.
