Just a Pack of Lies ?
I heard a tale the other day That made me ope’ my eyes; But said, when I had heard it through, ’Twas just a pack of lies! To tell me that a person could Get rid of all their ills, Their headache and their backache, Too, by taking little pills. Determined to find out hiyself, A bottle X did buy, ’Twas parcelled up quite daintily; I took one just to try. And, lo! when I awoke next morn, I really felt quite gay; The change was most remarkable, So I took one every day. One word of warning I must tell, Before my tale is through— Be sure .they’re Doctor Morse’s Pills, No other ones will do. So if you take my advice, You'll quickly lose that pain, Those magic pills will cure your ills. And make you well again.
