As sung by The Irish Rovers: LILY THE PINK Now here's a story, A little bit gory A little bit happy, A little bit sa-a-d Of Lily The Pink and her medicinal compound And how it drove her to the bad. Now Ebeneezer thought he was Julius Ceaser So they put him in the Ho-o-me Then they gave him medicinal compound Now he's Emperor of Rome CHO: We'll drink and drink and drink To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink The savior of the human ra-a-ce She invented medicinal compund Twas efficacious in every case Hansel Klinger, the opera singer Could break a glass with his voice twas sai-ai-d Rubbed his tonsils with medicinal compound Now they break glasses over his head. CHO: Uncle Paul he was very small he Was the shortest man in tow-ow-n Rubbed his body with medicinal compound Now has anyone seen my Uncle Paul CHO: Johnny Hammer had a terrible st-st-stammer He could hardly s-s-say a wor-or-d And so they g-g-gave him medicinal compound Now he's s-s-seen but never heard Lily died and went up to heaven All the church bells they did ri-i-ing She took with her medicinal compound Hark the Herald angels sing CHO: CHO: ^^^ Almost the same as the first DT version. Note "Uncle Paul" verse.
