Poor Lil.mp3
Melody - ???
Lil was a gal and she was a beauty,
She lived in house of ill reputy,
She drank demon rum,
She smoked hashish and opium.
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
She was young and she was fair,
She had the masses of golden hair,
Folks they came from miles to see
Lillian in her deshabille.
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
But day by day this gal grew thinner,
From the lack of protein in her,
'Til at last her the day came when
She had to cover up her abdomen.
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
She went to a young physician,
Who prescribed for her condition,
She had as the doctor said,
"Pernicious anem-i-a."
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
She took Sundays in the sun,
She took Scott's Emul-si-on,
She took liver and she took yeast,
But still her clientele decreased.
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
And as she lay in her dishonor,
She felt of the hand of the Lord upon her,
She said, "Oh my Lord my soul repents,
But it's still gonna cost you fifty cents."
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
This is the end of the story of Lillian,
She was one gal in a million,
This is the moral for her sins,
Whatever your line of business is, fitness wins!
- A-boom-boom, a-boom-boom,
A-boom-boom-boom.
