Yep -- I know of Lily the Pink and I can hear it there ... Jennifer 
Eccles was covered in freckles ....

A funny story about Lily the Pink, though. About 15 years ago I dj'd 
at a friends wedding. Friend's husband was from the UK and a huge 
contingent of his family attended. They wanted it all prim and proper 
and so I was given a stack of classical CDs and shuffled through them 
as the dinner and reception went on. Went the event was over, and I 
was packing up I tossed in a Scaffold CD and played Lily the Pink. 
Suddenly the prim and proper atmosphere dropped and strains of 
'weeeeeeeee'llllllllllll ..drink a a drink a drink to Lily the Pink 
the Pink the Pink' through the church hall.

Most efficacious in every way!
