Roll up Roll up This will cure all your ills Throw away the crutches Dispose of your pills Keep away from the tent boy Keep back from the curtain This is just what you need To stop all the hurtin' Roll up Roll up Mind the glare of my teeth Avoid my forked tongue Hide from what's underneath This elixir's a wonder More a distraction I'd say Takes your mind from your troubles At least for the day Drink a little, drink a lot It doesn't matter much You will soon discover You can throw away your crutch This potion will cure cancer Grow new hair on your head Help the flowers in the garden Make you better off in bed Roll up, Roll up Buy a bottle maybe two It's magic like no other See what it can do The idea is now planted Is it fake or is it real? Will it deliver on it's promise? Is it really such a deal? Listen to the barker Listen to his spiel Sounds like a politician Now, how do you feel? Don't look behind the curtain You'll hate what you will find Roll up, roll up and see It may mess up your mind Take a drink and you'll get bigger Take a drink and you'll be small Take a drink, I'll raise your taxes To pay for my new mall Roll up now to the counter Roll up here and see That things with this much promise Are never cheap and rarely free
