[
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,
And so they gave him, medicinal
[
G
]
compound,
and now he's learning how to
[
C
]
fly.
Brother
[
C
]
Tony, was known to be
[
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.
Chorus
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.
Johnny
[
C
]
Hammer, had a terrible st st st st
[
G7
]
stammer,
He could hardly s-s-say a
[
C
]
word,
And so they gave him, medicinal
[
G7
]
compound,
now he's seen, but never
[
C
]
heard.
Chorus
Auntie
[
C
]
Milly, ran willy
[
G7
]
nilly,
When her legs they did
[
C
]
recede,
So they looked on, medicinal
[
G7
]
compound,
now they call her Milly
[
C
]
Peed.
Jennifer
[
C
]
Eccles, had terrible
[
G7
]
freckles
And the boys all called her
[
C
]
names
But they gave her medicinal
[
G7
]
compound
Now he joins in all the
[
C
]
games
Chorus
Lily the
[
C
]
pink she turned to
[
G7
]
drink
She filled up with paraffin
[
C
]
inside
And despite her medicinal
[
G7
]
compound
Sadly piccalilli
[
C
]
died
Up to
[
C
]
heaven her soul
[
G7
]
ascended
All the church bells they did
[
C
]
ring
She took with her medicinal
[
G7
]
compound
Hark the herald angels
[
C
]
sing
