The Irish Rovers Lily the Pink

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
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)
