Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir
[Instrumental break]
[TOBY]
Ladies and gentlemen!
May I have your attention, please!
Do you wake every morning in shame and despair
To discover your pillow is covered with hair
Or ought not to be there?
Well, ladies and gentlemen
From now on you can waken at ease!
You need never again have a worry or care
I will show you a miracle, marvelous, rare
Gentleman, you are about to see something
Wot rose from the dead!
On the top of my head
[TOBY & ENSEMBLE]
T'was Pirelli's
Miracle Elixir
That's what did the trick, sir
True, sir, true
Was it quick sir?
Did it in a tick, sir
Just like an elixir
Ought to do!
[TOBY]
How about a bottle mister?
Only costs a penny guaranteed
Does Pirelli's
Stimulate the growth, sir?
You can have my oath, sir
'Tis unique
Rub a minute
Stimulatin', i'nt?
Soon you'll have to thin it
Once a week!
