The Miller   10 #6 Posted March 5, 2009 Here you go:  We'll drink a drink a drink to Lily the pink a pink a pink The saviour of the human race For she invented medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case  Mr Frears had sticky out ears And it made him awful shy And so they give him medicinal compound And now he's learning how to fly  Brother Tony was notably bony He would never eat his meals And so they give him medicinal compound Now they move him round on wheels  We'll drink a drink a drink to Lily the pink a pink a pink The saviour of the human race For she invented medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case  Well Ebeneezer thought he was Juilius Ceasar And so they put him in a home Where they give him medicinal compound And now his emperor of Rome  Johnny hammer had a terrible stammer He could hardly say a word And so they give him medicinal compound And now his seen and never heard  We'll drink a drink a drink to Lily the pink a pink a pink The saviour of the human race For she invented medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case  Auntie Milly ran willy-nilly When her legs they did recede And so they hooked on medicinal compound Now they call her Millipede  Jenifer Eccles had terrible freckles And the boys all call her names But she changed with medinical compound And now he joins in all their games  We'll drink a drink a drink to Lily the pink a pink a pink The saviour of the human race For she invented medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case  Lily the pink she turned to drink she Filled up with parafin inside And dispite her medicinal compound Sadly pickalily died  Up to heaven her soul ascended For the church bells they did ring She took with her medicinal compound Hark the herald angels sing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

willo   10 #8 Posted March 5, 2009 "I Don't See Me in Your Eyes Anymore" is a popular song, written by Bennie Benjamin and George David Weiss and published in 1949. The song was popularized that year by Gordon Jenkins and the Stardusters and by Perry Como.  The song received renewed popularity in 1974, when country singer Charlie Rich released a cover version he had recorded during the mid-1960s. Rich's rendition reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in June 1974. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lynblu   11 #11 Posted March 5, 2009 My dad used to sing a song about days of the week. It started "Monday is washing day, Tuesday is soup" and ended "Saturday is pay day". Does anyone remember the other bits?  My nan used to sing this to us & I now sing it to my 5 year old grandaughter. She loves it, especially soouuuuuup & does all the actions. Sunday is sung very slowly/softly whilst putting your palms together as though praying. Sunday we go to Church, is everybody happy, ya bet ya life we are ................
