We’ll drink a drink, a drink

Most efficacious in every case

And it made him awful shy

And so they gave him medicinal compound

And now he’s learning how to fly

He would never eat his meals

And so they gave him medicinal compound

Now they move him round on wheels

We’ll drink a drink, a drink

To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the pink

The savior of the human race

For she invented medicinal compound

Most efficacious in every case

And so they put him in a home

Where they gave him medicinal compound

And now he’s emperor of Rome

Johnny Hammer, had a terrible st-st-st-st-stammer

He could hardly s-s-say a word

And so they gave him medicinal compound

To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink

The saviour of our human race

For she invented, medicinal compound

Most efficacious in every case

So they rubbed on medicinal compound

Now they call her Milly Pede

And the boys all called her names

For she invented, medicinal compound

Most efficacious in every case

Lily the Pink, she turned to drink

She filled up with paraffin inside

And despite her medicinal compound

Sadly pickled Lily 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

We’ll drink a drink, a drink

To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink

The saviour of our human race

For she invented, medicinal compound

Most efficacious in every case
