Favorite Movie Quotes: At the Circus

My fave Groucho musical number:

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of tattoo
On her back is the "Battle Of Waterloo"
Beside it, the "Wreck Of The Hesperus" too
And proudly above 
Waves the red, white and blue
You can learn alot from Lydia

La-la-la, la-la-la
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
La-la-la, la-la-la

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
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
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz

You can learn a lot from Lydia

La-la-la, la-la-la
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 Spalding exploring the Amazon
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la

Here is Grover Whelen, unveilin' the Trilon
Over the west coast we have Treasure Island
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba
Here's her Social Security number

Oh, Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
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
And now, the old boy's in command of the fleet
For he went and married Lydia

I said Lydia
He said Lydia
They said Lydia
We said Lydia, la la
