No matter what ailment youve got
But I know a special one you ought to try
Youll find its the best of the lot
Its my Auntie Maggies home made remedy, its guaranteed never to fail
Thats the stuff that will do the trick
Its sold at every chemist for "one and a kick".
Now if youve got lumbago, rheumatics or gout, or a pain in your Robert E. Lee
Dont kick up a shindy, youll never get windy with Auntie Maggies Remedy

If you set your alarm clock for eight in the morning
Youre bound to wake up Ill agree
But Ill bet you by heaven, youll wake up at seven
With my Auntie Maggies Remedy
In a young ladys bedroom I went by mistake
My intentions were honest you see
She shouted with laughter, "I know what youre after
Its my Auntie Maggies Remedy."

Oh my Auntie Maggies home made remedy, its guaranteed never to fail
Thats the stuff that will do the trick

Now when the baby starts crying, theres always a reason
And if you inspect him youll see,
The poor little chappy has covered his nappy
With Auntie Maggies Remedy

Now I went to a doctor, I wasnt too well
And he made me lie on a settee
He said "Theres trouble brewing, youve been overdoing
Your Auntie Maggies Remedy."
Now I know a girl who was putting on weight,
In a spot where it just shouldnt be
So I said to Nellie, "Now you rub your ankle, with Auntie Maggies Remedy."
