"Lily the Pink" is a 1968 song released by the UK comedy group the Scaffold. It is a modernisation of an older folk song titled "The Ballad of Lydia Pinkham". The lyrics celebrate the "medicinal compound" invented by Lily the Pink, and, in each verse, chronicle some extraordinary cure it has effected. ==The Scaffold version== The Scaffold's record, released in November 1968, became No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart for the four weeks encompassing the Christmas holidays that year.〔 Backing vocalists on the recording included Graham Nash (of the Hollies), Elton John (then Reg Dwight), and Tim Rice;〔 while Jack Bruce (of Cream) played the bass guitar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lily the Pink by The Scaffold )〕 The lyrics include a number of in-jokes which may have been missed by many listeners. For example, the line ''Mr Frears has sticky out ears'' refers to film director Stephen Frears who had worked with the Scaffold early in their career; while the line ''Jennifer Eccles had terrible freckles'' refers to the song "Jennifer Eccles" by the Hollies, Graham Nash's former band.〔
