Lily the Pink
Chorus:
We'll drink-a drink a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink,
Saviour of the human race.
She invented medicinal compounds,
Most efficacious in every way.

Mr. Frears had sticky-out ears,
And it made him rather shy.
So they gave him medicinal compounds,
Now he's learning how to fly!

Brother Tony was terribly bony,
He would never eat his meals.
So they gave him medicinal compounds,
And now they roll him 'round on wheels!

Ebenezer thought he was Caesar,
So they put him in a home,
Where they gave him medicinal compounds,
Now he's Emperor of Rome!

Jennifer Eccles had terrible freckles,
And the boys all called her names.
So they gave her medicinal compounds,
Now she join in all their games.

Lily the Pink, she started to drink,
She filled up with paraffin inside.
And despite her medicinal compounds,
Sadly pickled Lily died.

Up to heaven Lily ascended.
All the church bells they did ring.
She took with her medicinal compounds
Hark the herald angels sing.
