Pig In a Poke

Here is a story that’s hard to forget A beauty skin product from an old barnyard pet He calls it Heal Fast and it’s made from pig lard From the fat little pigs that he kept in his yard It heals anything from acne to burns And of jars that he’s sold, he has had no returns You rub it on wounds or places you chafe No proof that it works or that it’s even safe And in spite of the fact it’s not tested so far He’ll bottle it up and send you a jar Sure, he’s working with doctors who’ll call FDA And give them their findings about any day But until that day (and this isn’t a joke) You’re buying what’s known as a Pig in a Poke Another true story from your old Uncle Mike
