chorus: We’ll drink a drink a drink To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink The saviour of our [the?] human race For she invented medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case

Mr freers had sticky out ears And it made him awful shy And so they gave him medicinal compound And now he’s learning how to fly

Robert Tony was known to be bony He would never eat his meals And so they gave him medicinal compound Now they move him round on wheels

(chorus)

Old Ebineezer thought he was Julius Caeser And so they put him in a home Where they gave him medicinal compound And now he’s emporor of Rome

Jonny Hammer had a terrible st st st st stammer He could hardly sssay a word And so they gave him medicinal compound Now’s he’s seen, but never heard

(chorus)

Aunty Milly ran willy nilly When her legs they did recede So they looked on medicnal compound Now they call her milly bee

Jennifer Eccles had terrible freckles And the boys all called her names But they gave her medicinal compound Now she joins in all the games

(chorus)

Lily the Pink she turned to drink She filled up with paraffin inside And despite her medicinal compound Sadly picklilly died

Up to heaven her soul ascended All the church bells they did ring She took with her medicinal compound Hark the herald angels sing
