Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Oh we’ll drink, we’ll drink, we’ll drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The saviour of the human race
She invented medicinal compound
Most effective in every case
Auntie Minnie was thin and skinny, all flat and nowhere round
Then they gave her medicinal compound, and now she weighs five hundred pounds
President Ronnie won’t ban the bomb, he doesn’t want no peace at all
Then they gave him medicinal compound, he sings the Internationale
Sylvester Stallone was skinny and boney, and his muscles never grew
Then they gave him medicinal compound, now he’s Rocky XXII
Maggie Thatcher, our money snatcher, she used to hate St Patrick’s Day
Then they gave her medicinal compound, and now she’s joined the IRA
Comrade Gorbachev was always sore because he only drank tea from his samovar
Then they gave him medicinal compound, Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o, there’s vodka in the jar
