The Ballad Of Lydia Pinkham (Lily The Pink)
Let us sing(let us sing)of Lydia Pinkham
the benefactress of the human race.
She invented a vegetable compound,
And now all the papers print her face.
O, Mrs Brown could do no housework,
O, Mrs Brown could do no housework,
She took three bottles of Lydia`s compound,
And now there`s nothing she will shirk,
She will shirk,
Mrs Jones had no children,
but she loved them very dear.
so she took three bottle of Pinkham`s
Now she has twins every year.
Lottie Smyth ne`er had a lover,
Blotchy pimples caused her plight;
Till she took nine bottles of Pinkam`s--
Sweethearts swarm around her every night.
Oh Mrs Murphy (oh Mrs Murphy)
Was perturbed that she couldn`t pee,
Till she took some of Lydia`s compound,
Now they run a pipeline to the sea.
And Peter whelan (Peter Whelan)
Was sad because he only had one nut,
Then he took some of Lydia`s compound,
and now they cluster round his butt.
Lydias Compund was mainly alcohol based and was supposed to be a cure for all ailments.. the fact that they where rat faced and forgot about the ailments may have helped..during the prohibition years in the united states people used Lydia Pinkhams compound instead of ale..so they used the excuse that they wasn`t drunk it was thier medication..sounds familiar (sheryl)..lol
