Lily the Pink

Melody starts on G

[G7] We'll [C] drink a drink a drink,

To Lily the [G7] pink the pink the pink,

The saviour of, our human [C] race,

For she invented, medicinal [G7] compound,

Most efficacious, in every [C] case

Mr. [C] Freers, had sticky out [G7] ears,

And it made him awful [C] shy,

So they gave him, medicinal [G7] compound,

And now he's learning how to [C] fly.

Brother [C] Tony, was notably [G7] bony,

He would never eat his [C] meals

And so they gave him, medicinal [G7] compound,

Now they move him round on [C] wheels.

Old Ebe-[C]nezer thought he was Julius [G7] Caesar,

And so they put him in a [C] home

Where they gave him, medicinal [G7] compound,

And now he's emperor of [C] Rome.

Auntie [C] Milly, ran willy [G7] nilly,

When her legs they did [C] recede,

And so they rubbed on medicinal [G7] compound,

Now they call her Milly [C] Peed.

Lily the [C] pink she turned to [G7] drink,

She filled up with paraffin [C] inside

And despite her medicinal [G7] compound,

Sadly pickled Lily [C] died

Up to [C] heaven her soul [G7] ascended,

Oh the church bells they did [C] ring

She took with her medicinal [G7] compound,

Hark the herald angels [C] sing
