TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "Lily the Pink" by the Irish Rovers

Lilly the Pink
By The Irish Rovers

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

Now here's a story 
A little bit gory 
A little bit happy 
A little bit sad 
Of Lily the pink and 
Her medicinal compounds. 
And how it drove her to the bad. 

Ol' Ebenezer
Thought he was Julius Ceasar
So they put him in the home.
There they gave him medicinal compound,
Now he's Emperor of Rome.

Freddy Klinger. 
The opera singer 
Could break a glass with his voice 
'Tis said. 
Rubbed his tonsils 
With medicinal compounds 
Now they break glasses over his head. 

Johnny Hammer 
Had a t-t-terrible stammer. 
He could hardly s-s-say a word. 
So they g-g-gave him 
Medicinal compounds. 
Now he's s-s-seen 
But never heard. 

(Chorus) 

Uncle Paul, he 
Was very small, he 
Was the shortest man in town. 
Rubbed his body 
With medicinal compounds. 
Now he weighs only half a pound. 

Lily died and 
Went up to heaven. 
All the church bells 
They did ring. 
She took with her 
Medicinal compounds. 
Hark the herald angels sing. 

(Chorus)
