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 What ought not to be there? Well, ladies and gentlemen From now on you can waken with ease You need never again have a worry or care I will show you a miracle marvelous rare Gentlemen, you are about to see something What rose from the dead on the top of my head Scarcely a month ago, gentlemen I was suddenly struck with a rare oriental disease Though the finest physicians in London were called I awakened one morning amazed and appalled To discover with dread that my head was as bald As a novice's knees I was dying of shame Till a gentleman came, an illustrious barber, Pirelli by name He gave me a liquid as precious as gold I rubbed it in daily like what I was told And behold, less than thirty days old 'Twas 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 How about a bottle, mister? Only costs a penny, guaranteed Penny buys a bottle, I don't know You don't need, ah, let's go Go ahead and tug, sir Go ahead, sir, harder Does Pirelli's stimulate the growth, sir? You can have my oath, sir 'Tis unique, rub a minute Stimulatin', in'it? Soon you'll have to thin it Once a week Gently dab it, gets to be a habit Soon there'll be enough, sir Somebody can grab it See that chap with hair like Shelley's? You can tell 'e's used Pirelli's Let me have a bottle Make that two Pardon me, sir, what's that awful stink? Smells to me like piss and looks like ink Buy Pirelli's Miracle elixir Anything what's slick, sir Soon sprouts curls, try Pirelli's When they see how thick, sir You can have your pick, sir, of the girls See Pirelli's Miracle elixir Grow a little wick, sir Then some fuzz, the Pirelli's Soon'll make it thick, sir Like a good elixir always does Trust Pirelli's If your hair is sick, sir Fix it in a nick, sir Don't look grim Just Pirelli's miracle elixir That'll do the trick, sir What about the money? If you've got a kick, sir What about the money? Where is this Pirelli? Go and get Pirelli Tell it to the mixer Of the miracle elixir If you've got a kick, sir What about our money? Where is this Pirelli?
