LYDIA THE TATTOOED LADY  Misc. Soundtrack



[C]Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia the tattooed [G]lady
[F]She has [C]eyes that [F]folks ad[C]ore so
[F]And a [Dm]torso [F]even [Dm]more so
[C]Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
Oh Lydia, the queen of tat[F]too
On her [Dm]back is the Battle of Waterloo
[F]Beside it the Wreck of the Hesperus, too
And [C]proudly above waves the [F]red, white and blue
You can [C]learn a [G]lot from [C]Lydia
[C](la la la, la la la)
[C](la la la, la la la)
[Eb]When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world
If you step up and [Bb]tell her where
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington crossing the [Eb]Delaware
[Eb](la la la, la la la)
[C](la la la, la la la)
[C]Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Oh Lydia the tattooed [G]lady
[F]When her [C]muscles [F]start [C]relaxin'
[F]Up the [Dm]hill comes [F]Andrew [Dm]Jackson
[C]Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
Oh Lydia, the queen of them [F]all
For [Dm]two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a [F]view of Niagara that nobody has
And [C]on a clear day, you can [F]see Alcatraz
You can [C]learn a [G]lot from [C]Lydia
[C](la la la, la la la)
[Eb](la la la, la la la)
[Eb]Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by Mendel Pi[Bb]casso
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon
Here's Godiva but with her [Eb]pajamas on
[Eb](la la la, la la la)
[Eb](la la la, la la la)
[Eb]Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' the Tri-lon
Over on the west coast we have Treasure [Bb]Isle-on
Here's Nijinski a-doin' the rumba
Here's her social security [Eb]numbah
[Eb](Whistling instead of singing la la la...)
[C](Whistling instead of singing la la la...)
[C]Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
Oh Lydia, the champ of them [F]all
She [Dm]once swept an admiral clear off his feet
The [F]ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
And [C]now the old boy's in comm[F]and of the fleet
For he [C]went and [G]married [C]Lydia
[C]I said Lydia
He said Lydia
They said Lydia
We said Lydia
La-la!
