By: Cedric McClester Don’t drink the elixir That he’s trying to sell If you start believing him He'll catch you in his spell Avoid the snake oil salesman At all and any cost If you follow his advice You’ll truly be lost He’s a snake oil salesman Traveling state to state Trying to sell his portion That you're gonna learn to hate (2nd Verse) Don’t drink his elixir Though pleasant to the taste Some have bought it wholesale Others by the case Don’t believe the claims The snake oil salesman makes He’ll say or do anything That he thinks it takes He’s a snake oil salesman Traveling state to state Trying to sell his portion That you're gonna learn to hate He’ll never reveal what’s inside Of his opaque bottle But he wants you to take the ride While he goes full throttle He’s a snake oil salesman You better heed my warning It might be too late Once you’re underneath his awning He’s a snake oil salesman I’ve told you once before Cuz it’s at your own peril If you choose to ignore He’s a snake oil salesman Traveling state to state Trying to sell his portion That you'll learn to hate Don’t drink his elixir Though pleasant to the taste Some have bought it wholesale Others by the case Don’t believe the claims The snake oil salesman makes He’ll say or do anything That he thinks it takes Cedric McClester, Copyright (c) 2016.
