As sung by The Irish Rovers:


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
