The Evolution of Pharmaceuticals

WE FOUND THE CURE

WE FOUND THE CURE

YOU HAVE? THEN TELL US NOW

Rattlesnake venom, by the pint, mixed with yellow snow

But surely that will kill us?

Ah, but all the shaking goes

But what about the death bit? Too drastic, we say no



WE FOUND THE CURE

WE FOUND THE CURE

YOU HAVE? THEN TELL US NOW!

Two pints of brandy everyday, mixed with others from a cow

Please forgive our disbelief, it doesn't sound right somehow

Ah, go on, just try it, if only just for now

Somebody has to, otherwise it will never sell


WE FOUND THE CURE

WE FOUND THE CURE

What? Are you back again?

Yes I am and this time, with a pill to dull the pain

This one is surely bound to work

As I can't even spell the name, let alone say it


Let us see, paracetamol, tried it and it doesn't work

Oh, how about aspirin?….

Or lentil soup , injected…

What do you mean…by bugger off?

Nice, I was only trying to help
