and the way they make you feel.
this one here will cheer you up,
and this one helps you deal
with that over-cheered-up feeling,
gets you back under control.
oh, yes, my pills and potions
are a solace to the soul.

i can fix a mixture
or a salve or remedy
for whatever ailments ail you.

are the purest, naturally.
i can restore your health, your strength,
your youth, vitality.

if you are feeling down,
take a spoonful of this syrup,
and my secret recipe, no doubt,
will be the thing to cheer your right up.
do you have warts, or scaly skin,
or pimples by the faceful?
this pill will cure those trivial ails
and as a bonus, make you graceful.

your husband short and stubby?
i can cure most anything
with items from my wagon.

several bucks per flagon.

but have i got a deal for you,
though only for today,
any bottle, pouch, or jar
can go home with you, to stay.

for a sample of my wares,
and i will mix up just the thing
to banish all your cares.

now, when your sample's good and gone,
if you think you'd like some more,
well come right on back and see me -
i've got plenty here in store.
but i want you to know first
what wonders you'll receive.
so you just try a bit of potion.
just a bit... and you'll believe.

and this one helps you deal
with that over-cheered-up feeling,
gets you back under control.
