This is a more or less unified collection of verses for "Lily the Pink"
I gathered from various places and added some of my own. Start with the
chorus and then the introductory verse. Then sing any number of
supporting verses in any order you wish. Finish up with the final verse
and then sing the chrorus once more, repeating "We'll" thrice before
continuing.
The last two verses I got from Gra Magree Magoblin's rendition. I'm not
sure if I wrote them down right.
(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 way.
Here's a story, a little bit gory,
A little bit happy, a little bit sad,
Of Lily the Pink and her medicinal compound,
And how it slowly drove her to the bad.
(final verse)
Lily died and went up to Heaven
And the church bells they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound
Hark the herald angels sing.

And now he's learning how to fly.

And now he's Emperor of Rome.

And now they call her Millipede.
