Harry "The Hipster" Gibson - Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine? lyrics

Mrs. Murphy couldn't sleep Her nerves were slightly off the bean Until she solved her problem With a can of Ovaltine She drank a cupful most every night And ooh 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 was a shame, don't know who's to blame Cause the old lady didn't even get his name Where did she get that stuff? Now she just can't get enough It might have been the man who wasn't there Now Jack, that guy's a square She never ever wants to go to sleep She says 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 that Benzedrine's the thing that makes her spring. This is the second chorus you know The name of this chorus is called, "Who put the Nembutals in Mr. Murphy's overalls? I don't know 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 never never been so happy, since she left old Ireland 'Till some one prowled her pantry, and tampered with her can. Wham! Who put the Benzedrine, in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine? Sure was a shame, don't know who's to blame Cause the old lady didn't even get his name Where did she get that stuff Now she just can't get enough It might have been the man who wasn't there Now Jack, that guy's a square She stays up nights making all the rounds They say she lost about 69 pounds Now Mr. Murphy claims she's getting awful thin And all she says is, "Give me some skin." Mop! Who put the Benzedrine, in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine? Now she wants to swing the Highland Fling She says that Benzedrine's the thing that makes her spring. Spring it now, Gibson
