Murray Lyr Req: Pinkham Compound / Lydia Pinkham (68* d) RE: PINKHAM COMPOUND 03 Jun 97


Another 2 verses and a variant:

Now Mr. Brown had a very small penis
He could hardly raise a stand
So they gave him the vegetable compound
Now he comes in either hand.

Now Master Brown had very small knackers
They were just like a couple of peas
So they gave him the vegetable compound
Now they hang below his knees.

Now Mrs. Brown had invisible bosoms
They scarcely showed beneath her blouse
So they gave her the vegetable compound
Now they milk her with the cows.

The text given by Bob Landry is practically identical with that in Cray's book [1968 edition, page 56, with music], but not that first stanza. Where's it from? My text is out of the British collection "More Rugby Songs" [London: Sphere Books, 1968], page 105.

Another song [clean] that is similar was recorded way back on the flip side of a comedy record called "It's in the Book", being a parody of a hellfire sermon, the text examined being "Little Bo-Peep", and the song was presented as a good ol' gospel song. Very funny, I thought at the time. [I seem to remember this mentioned on another thread...] Words included [I THINK this is accurate]:

Little Herman and Cousin Sherman
Had an aversion to washing their ears
Washed them out with Grandma's Lysol,
They haven't heard a word in years.
