Original song: Medicine Show

"We'd add more alcohol if we could"

Song about a medicine show that once featured Hank Williams Sr.

Lyrics:
Good people, please won't you go
To our traveling medicine show?
Dry counties, believe me: We're your cure.
So healthy, so wholesome, so pure

Come meet big celebrities.
Take a taste and soon you will see.
Our potion will heal your aches and pains.
Alcohol to soothe your tired brain.

Hank Williams and Milton Berle,
With Lucille Ball plus Minnie Pearl.
And Garland with Cagney and Bob Hope
all say you should buy it to cope.

Don't hound me big FDA,
Scrutinizing each thing I say.
My cure all makes people feel so nice.
Just sold my rights for a great price.

God made Hadacol, preacher called it good.
Downing each shot, but a drunkard you're not.
Your own doctor said you should.
We'd add more alcohol if we could.
