"Lily The Pink" lyrics

"Lily The Pink"

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink the pink the pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Here's a story, a little bit gory
A little bit happy, a little bit sad
Of Lily the Pink and her medicinal compound
And how it slowly drove her to the bad

Meet Ebenezer, thought he was Julius Caesar
So they put him in a home
And then they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's Emperor of Rome

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink the pink the pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

And Freddie Clinger, the opera singer
Who could break glasses with his voice they said
So on his tonsils he rubbed medicinal compound
And now they break glasses over his head

Meet Johnny Hammer had a t-t-terrible s-s-stammer
He could b-barely say a word
So they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's seen, but never heard

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink the pink the pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

And Uncle Paul, he was very small. He
Was the shortest man in town
So on his body he rubbed medicinal compound
And now he's six foot, but it's underground

Lily died and went up to heaven
Oh, the church bells they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound
Hark the herald angels sing

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink the pink the pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink the pink the pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
