Pliny the Elder's Always Wrong (Sawbones)

Pliny the Elder's Always Wrong (Sawbones) So this amazing song is nowhere to be found on youtube and, frankly, that's just preposterous. So, here it is! The song debuted on episode 140 of Sawbones, a Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine.
Lyrics both below and on subtitles:

I bought a tincture from this guy in town
Two bottles of urine and some hay
And I sure hope it can cure pleurisy
'Cus Pliny says refunds aren't his way

It's all wrong
It's all wrong
I'm drinking pee and it's all wrong
I'm gonna eat a foxes brain and feel exactly the same
'Cus Pliny the Elder’s always wrong

It's all wrong
It's all wrong
Bat blood on snake bites no that's wrong
He told me I should lick a snail and that my period stops... hail?
'Cus Pliny the Elder’s always wrong

So yeah my pleurisy still got me down
But Pliny says he's got great news
He's got maggots he's got livers he's got rabbit poop for shivers
And a buy one get one sale I just can't loose

But it's wrong
It's all wrong
A bogo sale on stuff that's wrong
Sure he's offering great deals if you don't care if you're healed
'Cus Pliny the Elder’s always wrong

It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It's true that Pliny’s always wrong
But he helped to pave the way and died a hero in Pompeii
There are way worse things to be than wrong

(Sawbones)
