Lyrics

Here's a story, A little bit gory,
A little bit happy, A little bit sa - hah - had.
'Bout Lydia Pinkham,
Her medicinal compound,
And how it drove her to the bad.

Chorus:
We'll drink, a drink, a drink
To Lidia Pink, a pink, a pink
The savior of the human ra-hay-hayce
She invented a medicinal compound
(original line:  Whose effects God can only replace.)
Most efficatious in every case.

Ebeneezer, thought he was Julius Caeser,
So they put him in a home.
There they gave him Medicinal Compound
And now he's Emperor of Rome!

[Chorus]

Freddy Clinger, the opera singer
Would break a glass with his voice tis said,
Rubbed his tonsils with medicinal compound,
Now they break glasses over his head!

[Chorus]

Johnny Hammer, had a te-te-terrible st-stammer
He could hardly say a wor-hur-d.
So they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's seen but never heard!

[Chorus]

Uncle Pauly, he tiny and smally
He was the smallest man in town.
Rubbed his body with medicinal compound
And now he weighs three hundred pounds!

[Chorus]

Lily died and she went to heaven,
All the church bells they did ring.
She took with her, medicnal compound
So Hark the Herald angels sing!

[Chorus]
