Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy’s Ovaltine
recorded by Henry “The Hipster” Gibson, 1944

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…

“Oh! Who put the benzedrine
In Mrs. Murphy’s Ovaltine?”
Sure is a shame, don’t know whose 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 bad
Not Jack, that guy’s a square.
She never ever wants to go to sleep.
She said that everthing is ???
Now Mr. Murphy don’t know what its all about
So she went and threw the old man out. Clout.

In the above, ??? = “solid all reet”

“Solid” was a hepcat term for “okay.”

How’s it going, my man?
Solid, Jackson!

Ditto for “all reet,” a variant on “all right.”
