Snake Oil 

©2016 Neil Porter 

Mean Mr Mustard 

Got his foot in the door 

I don’t understand 

What you opened it for 

Drop your guard 

And he’ll walk right in 

Oozing that snake oil 

On everything 

Chorus: 

Snake oil, snake oil 

Come and get your snake oil 

And you’ll stay alive 

Til a hundred and ten 

Snake oil, snake oil 

Buy my fine snake oil 

Gonna make you richer 

Than you’ve ever been 

Mass hypnosis 

Wild tirade 

He’s got all the skills 

Of the snake oil trade 

Big on slogans 

Small on hands 

Gonna make America 

Snake again 

Chorus

Money on the counter 

He’ll give us all a case 

Snake oil man 

In a snake oil race 

Drop your guard 

And he’ll walk right in 

Oozing that snake oil 

On everything 

Chorus

Gonna make you richer 

Gonna make you richer 

Gonna make you richer 

Than you’ve ever been 

Snake oil, snake oil 

Gonna make you richer 

Than you’ve ever been
