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
