Lily the Pink

From the Official Troop 78 Song Book


Here’s a story, a little bit gory,
A little bit happy, a little bit sad.
About a lady and medicinal compound,
And the adventures that they had.

Chorus:
Oh, drink, a-drink a-drink
To Lily the Pink the Pink the Pink the Pink
The savior of (the savior of) the human race.
She invented medicinal compound,
Most efficacious in every case.

Ebenezer thought he was Julius Caesar,
So they put him in a home.
Then they gave him medicinal compound,
Now he’s emperor of Rome.

Chorus

Johnny Hammer had a terrible stammer,
He could hardly speak a word.
So they game him medicinal compound,
Now he’s seen but never heard.

Chorus

Uncle Paul he, was rather small he,
He was only two foot four.
Then they gave him medicinal compound,
Now he can’t fit through the door.

Chorus

Lily died and went to heaven.
Oh the church bells they did ring.
She took with her medicinal compound,
Hark! The herald angles sing.
