Groucho: Loophole.
Chico: Glad to know ya.
Groucho: It's your pleasure.
Ah this meeting brings back memories--

My life was wrapped around the circus--

Fair in 1900, marked down from 1940. Ah Lydia.
(ad lib sung/spoken)
She was the most glorious creature under the sun.

Ahhhhh...

Lydia the tattooed Glady
FShe has Ceyes that Ffolks adCore so
FAnd a Dmtorso Feven Dmmore so
CLydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
Oh Lydia, the queen of tatFtoo
On her Dmback is the Battle of Waterloo
FBeside it the Wreck of the Hesperus, too
And Cproudly above waves the Fred, white and blue
You can Clearn a Glot from CLydia
C(la la la, la la la)

EbWhen her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world
If you step up and Bbtell her where

For Dmtwo bits she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a Fview of Niagara that nobody has
And Con a clear day, you can Fsee Alcatraz
You can Clearn a Glot from CLydia

As sung by J. Cheever Loophole (Groucho Marx) in "At the Circus"

(Intro dialog)

Chico: Folks, I wanna you should meet my pal,

my *best* friend. (What's your name again?)

Groucho: Loophole.

Chico: Glad to know ya.

Groucho: It's your pleasure.

Ah this meeting brings back memories--

childhood days! lemonade!! romance!

My life was wrapped around the circus--

her name was Lydia. I met her at the World's

Fair in 1900, marked down from 1940. Ah Lydia.

(ad lib sung/spoken)

She was the most glorious creature under the sun.

Weiss(?)!, DuBarry(?)! Garbo! Rolled into one.

Ahhhhh...

Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?

Lydia the tattooed lady

F C F C

She has eyes that folks adore so

F Dm F Dm

And a torso even more so

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia

Oh Lydia, the queen of tattoo

On her back is the Battle of Waterloo

Beside it the Wreck of the Hesperus, too

C F

And proudly above waves the red, white and blue

C G C

You can learn a lot from Lydia

(la la la, la la la)

When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world

If you step up and tell her where

For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree

Or Washington crossing the Delaware

(la la la, la la la)

Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?

Oh Lydia the tattooed lady

F C F C

When her muscles start relaxin'

F Dm F Dm

Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia

Oh Lydia, the queen of them all

For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz

With a view of Niagara that nobody has

C F

And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz

C G C

You can learn a lot from Lydia

(la la la, la la la)

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso

Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso

Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon

Here's Godiva but with her pajamas on

(la la la, la la la)

Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' the Tri-lon

Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on

Here's Nijinski a-doin' the rumba

Here's her social security numbah

(Whistling instead of singing la la la...)

Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia

Oh Lydia, the champ of them all

She once swept an admiral clear off his feet

The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat

C F

And now the old boy's in command of the fleet

C G C

For he went and married Lydia

I said Lydia

He said Lydia

They said Lydia

We said Lydia

La-la!
