[MAN] (spoken) And don't bring those phony remedies here again! [WOMAN] (spoken) Go on back to where you belong, jail! [TERMINUS] (spoken) Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I sense enthusiasm! I sense loving response! And that's why this is my home away from home (sung) I've been bringing cures from Pilgrim Heights to Provincetown Treated rabid fever down on Queen Anne Road Gout and gastritis, mumps or bronchitis Bites and burns and blue abrasions Got a pill for all occasions Little Sipperwhissit was so nice to visit And Scraggy-Neck is lovely to recall [MAN] (spoken) Why didn't ya stay there?! [TERMINUS] But through all my trips Good lord, there's one place One corner, one town on my lips Why its................. Paddamaquassy? Uh, Paquamasoddy! No, no. Passamamassy! Uh, Quaddamapoddy!

[TERMINUS] (spoken) Of course, that's what I meant to say [FAT WOMAN] I took your drug for losing weight and now I'm a blob! [TERMINUS] But now that there's so much more of you to love I've wiped out impetigo on the banks of Buttermilk Flu is under firm control in Powderhole Terminus Potions, Tablets and Lotions Making news in modern science Step up now and join my clients Spent a day in Buzzard's Bay, they couldn't keep me there Even turned away from Kingdom Hall But since I was young Good lord, there's one spot One little bit of heaven on my tongue Why its................. Paddamaquassy? No, no, Paquamasoddy! Uh. Passamamassy! Uh, Quaddamapoddy! Uh, P-P-Passamackdaddy! Uh! Passamahoddy? Oh. I know!...... It's Passamaschloddy! [TOWNSPEOPLE] (spoken) No!

[TERMINUS] But that color, it's so becoming [TOWNSPEOPLE] We're gonna wash your phony tonics right down the sink! [TERMINUS] Wait! Listen! My specialties are Audiology,Mycology, Sarology, Teritology Embryology, Psychology, Zoology! And every other 'ology' you can think of! My friends, you're not giving me a chance I've brought all these medicines back from Paris, France (Townspeople "ooh") (music break) [WOMAN] (spoken) I believe the Doc! [GIRL] (spoken) I trust him! [MAN] (spoken) I put my life in his hands! [TERMINUS] My friends, you've seen a miracle and you'll see many more People will come pouring in from land and sea We'll have centers for testing, let's start investing Keep those dimes and dollars mounting [HOAGY] I'll collect! [TERMINUS] I'll do the counting! Everyone who lives here will be strong and healthy You'll be getting richer by the day [TOWNSPEOPLE] (spoken) Hooray!
