| Song Lyrics: |
Mrs. Murphy couldn't sleep,
Her nerves were slightly off the beat
Until she solved her problem
With a can of Ovaltine
She drank a cup full most every night
And oooh, how she would dream
Until something rough got in the stuff
And made her neighbors scream, "Ow!"
Who put the Benzedrine
In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?
Sure is a shame, don't know who's to blame
'Cause the old lady didn't even get his name.
Where did she get that that stuff?
Now she just can't get enough.
It might have been the man who wasn't there.
No, Jack, that guy's a square.
She never ever wants to go to sleep.
She said that everything is solid all-reet.
Now Mr. Murphy don't know what it's all about
'Cause she went and threw the old man out. Clout!
Who put the Benzedrine
In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?
Now she wants to swing the Highland Fling
She says the Benzedrine's the thing that makes her spring.
She bought a can of Ovaltine
Most every week or so
And she always kept an extra can on hand
Just in case that she'd run low.
She's never ever been so happy
Since she left old Ireland
Till someone prowled her pantry
Sure and tampered with her can. Wham!
Who put the Benzedrine
In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?
Sure is a shame, don't know who's to blame
'Cause the old lady didn't even get his name.
Where did she get that that stuff?
Now she just can't get enough.
It might have been the man who wasn't there.
No, Jack, that guy's a square.
She stays up night makin' all right
They say she lost about 69 pounds
Now Mr. Murphy claims she's getting awful thin
And all she says is "Gimme some skin!" Mop!
Who put the Benzedrine
In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?
Now she wants to swing the Highland Fling
She says the Benzedrine's the thing that makes her spring. (Stavro Arrgolus) |
