Elixir

Peddler, what have you in your cart of wares
Something I can use, something you can share
I’m not feeling too well, I need a remedy
Have you an antidote, a pill for what ails me
Peddler, I’m in so need of a fixer
Have you a potion, a cure, or elixir
You see, Mr. Peddler, there’s a fire ‘neath my hips
Yearning desire to taste his warm, sweet lips
My appetite is hungry, my body aches
I need an intervention before my heart breaks
I know what’ll happen I’ve been here before
And I don’t desire to be hurt any more
So please, Mr. Peddler, won’t you hear to my plea
Consider my case, and please help me
