LILY THE PINK
The Scaffold - 1969


(Chorus:)
We'll drink a drink a drink 
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink 
The saviour of the human race 
For she invented medicinal compound 
Most efficacious in every case. 

Mr. Frears 
had sticky-out ears 
and it made him awful shy 
and so they gave him medicinal compound 
and now he's learning how to fly. 

Brother Tony 
Was notably bony 
He would never eat his meals 
And so they gave him medicinal compound 
Now they move him round on wheels. 

(Chorus)

Old Ebeneezer 
Thought he was Julius Caesar 
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 stammer 
He could hardly say a word 
And so they gave him medicinal compound 
Now he's seen (but never heard)! 

(Chorus)

Auntie Millie 
Ran willy-nilly 
When her legs, they did recede 
And so they rubbed on medicinal compound 
And now they call her Millipede. 

Jennifer Eccles 
had terrible freckles 
and the boys all called her names 
but she changed with medicinal compound 
and now he joins in all their games. 

(Chorus)

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. 

Oooooooooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'lll...(into Chorus)
