1. Now, there's all sorts of medicines that you can buy,
No matter what ailment you've got.
Hey, but I know a special one you ought to try.
You'll find it's the best of the lot.

CHORUS: It's me Auntie Maggie's homemade remedy.
It's guaranteed never to fail.
That's the stuff that will do the trick.
It's sold at every chemist's for one-and-a-kick.

2. Now if you get lumbago, rheumatics or gout,
Or a pain in your Robert E. Lee,
Don't kick up a shindy; you'll never get windy
With Auntie Maggie's remedy.

3. If you set your alarm clock for eight in morning,
You're bound to wake up, I'll agree,
But I'll bet you, by heaven, you'll wake up at seven
With me Auntie Maggie's remedy.

4. In a young lady's bedroom I went by mistake.
My intentions were honest, you see.
Since she shouted with laughter: "I know what you're after.
It's me Auntie Maggie's remedy." CHORUS

5. Now when the baby starts cryin', there's always a reason,
And if you inspect him, you'll see,
Ah, the poor little chappie has covered his nappy
With Auntie Maggie's remedy.

6. Now I went to the doctor; I wasn't too well,
And he made me lie on the settee.
He said: "There's trouble brewin'; you've been overdoin'
Your Auntie Maggie's remedy."

7. Now I know a girl who was putting on weight
In a spot where it just shouldn't be,
So I said to Nellie: "Now you rub your—ankle
With Auntie Maggie's remedy."
