Lily The Pink Lyrics

We'll drink a drink a drink to lily the pink the pink the pink
The saviour of the of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound most efficacious in every case
Mr Flears had sticky out ears and they made him awful shy
So they gave him medicinal compound and now he's learning how to fly
Brother Tony was said to be boney he would never eat his meals
So they gave him medicinal compound and now they move him around on wheels
Old Ebeneezer thought he was Julius Caesar and so they put him in a home
Where they gave him medicinal compound and now he's Emperor of Rome
Johnny Hammer had a terrible stammer he could hardly say a word
And so they gave him medicinal compound now he's seen but never heard
Auntie Millie ran willy nilly when her legs they did recede
And so they rubbed on medicinal compound and now they call her Millipede
Jennifer Eccles had lovely big freckles but the boys all called her names
But she changed with medicinal compound and now he joins in all the games
Lily the Pink she turned to drink she filled up with paraffin inside
And despite her medicinal compound sadly Pickled Lily died
Verse 8 (slow)
Up to Heaven her soul ascended all the Church bells they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound hark the Herald angels sing
If there are any golden oldie classics (just lyrics and chords) that you would like
