For Blake: "Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?"

[Dink]

Harry Gibson song lyrics.
Harry "The Hipster."
Born Harry Raab, 1915. Died 1991.
Rock and roll pianist and elder statesman.

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.

The only one I recall is Who put the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder
Nobody answered, so he shouted alll the louder Can't recall this one.
I recall that banzadrene was called bennys and that it enabled you to
drive all night and still stay on the road. Theoretically, anyway.

There was this one story about Owsen Elkins was driving the band home
from an out of town gig, and a cop started following him. He came to a
curve in the road and plowed across a cotton field.
So the cop came up from behind and opened his door. Owen fell out, and
said "fill her up, buddy"
It didn't gethim of the hook
blake

I think it was replced by No Doze later.

Do you still have your Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Pin?

Benzedrne was what they gave to pilots, flying the hump in the CBI ' and
that started the whole thing.
Then truck drivers got it.
