Lily the Pink - The Irish Rovers

We’ll drink a drink a drink

To Lily the pink the pink the pink

The savior of (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 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 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 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 savior of) the human race

She invented medicinal compound

Most efficacious in every case
