Lilly the Pink Songtext
von The Irish Rovers

We′ll drink, a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Now here's a story, a little bit gory
A little bit happy, a little bit sad
Of Lily the Pink and her medicinal compound
And how it drove her to the bad

Well, Ebenezer, thought he was Julius Caesar
So they put him in a home
And then they gave him medicinal compound
And now he′s Emperor of Rome

We'll drink, a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case


Freddie Clinger, the opera singer (la, la)
Could break a glass with his voice, they said
Rubbed his tonsils with medicinal compound
Now they break glasses over his head

Johnny Hammer, had a te-te-terrible stammer
He could hardly sa-sa-sa-say a word
And so they ga-ga-gave him medicinal compound
And now he's se-se-seen, but never heard

We′ll drink, a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Uncle Paul, he was very small, he was the shortest man in town
Rubbed his body with medicinal compound
Now he wears all my apron

Lily died and went up to Heaven
All the church bells, they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound
Hark, the herald angels sing

We, we, we′ll drink, a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case


We'll drink, a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

We′ll drink, a drink, a drink to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
