Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Step right up
Step right up
Step right up
[Verse 2]
Everyone's a winner
Bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner of
The quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar
One-tenth of a dollar
We got service after the sale
How 'bout perfume?
We got perfume
How 'bout an engagement ring?
Somethin' for the little lady
Somethin' for the little lady
Somethin' for the little lady, mmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance
We got our white sale on our smoke-damaged furniture
You can drive it away today
Act now
Act now and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors
One size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills
You're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go
Goin' out of business
Goin' out of business
Goin' out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price
Skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it?
How do we do it?
Volume, volume
Turn up the volume
Now you've heard it advertised
Don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down
Don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up
[Verse 3]
Step right up
[Verse 4]
That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair
It gets rid of embarrassing age spots
It delivers a pizza
And it lengthens
And it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
Under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar
[Verse 5]
Step right up
[Verse 6]
It's only a dollar
[Verse 7]
Step right up
[Verse 8]
'Cause it forges your signature
If not completely satisfied, mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase
[Verse 9]
Step right up
[Verse 10]
Please allow thirty days for delivery
Don't be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it
Live in it, laugh in it, love in it, swim in it, sleep in it
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives
It turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts
Change your life
Change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy
Get rid of your wife
And it walks your dog
And it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax
You can jump back, Jack
See you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts
It quits smoking
It's a friend, it's a companion
It's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions
It never needs ironing
Well, it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff
Gives you dandruff
And it finds you a job
It is a job
And it strips the phone company free
Take ten for five exchange
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it's a friend
And it's a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler's cheques
It's new, it's improved, it's old-fashioned
Well, it takes care of business
Never needs winding
Never needs winding
Never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, heartbreak and psoriasis
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
'Cause it's effective
It's defective
It creates household odors
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection
It wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon
No obligation
No salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot
Jackpot
Jackpot
Prizes, prizes, prizes
All work guaranteed
How do we do it?
How do we do it?
How do we do it?
How do we do it?
We need your business
We're going out of business
We'll give you the business
Get on the business end of our going-out-of-business sale

Step right up
Step right up
Step right up
You got it, buddy
The large print giveth and the small print taketh away
[Verse 11]
Step right up
You can step right up
You can step right up
Come on, step right up
(Get away from me, kid, you're botherin' me)
Step right up
Step right up
Step right up
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Step right up
You can step right up
Come on and step right up
Come on, step right up
