"Lydia, oh Lydia, I wish I didn't get rid of ya,
Lydia I miss your rose tattoo."
"Ay ay ay ay ay, make sweet love to me"
It seems like I found this on the msg boards before, but I have lost
it & been unable to find it again. The only thing I could find is
someone with the same request YEARS ago, but no answer.... can anyone
help?
Thanks

Could this be "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady"? Groucho Marx sang it, maybe in
one of the Marx Bros.' movies.

Groucho sang (and danced) "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" in "At the Circus"
(1939). The song was written by Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen, but
there's only slight similarity to the lyrics E posted.
Lydia, oh Lydia, oh have you met Lydia,
Lydia the ta-attooed lady
She has eyes that men adore so,
And a torso even more so...
Does that sound like the one you're looking for?

Lydia, The Tattooed Lady (1939)
Words: E.Y. Harburg Music: Harold Arlen (Over the Rainbow)
Lydia, Lydia, say have you met Lydia
Oh, Lydia, the tattooed lady?
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, 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 & Blue
You can learn a lot from Lydia
(Whistle)
She can give you a view of the world in tattoo
If you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington crossing the Delaware
(Whistle)
Lydia, Lydia, say have you met Lydia
Oh, Lydia, the tattooed lady?
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Oh Lydia the champ of them all
For two bits she will do a Muzurka in Jazz
With a view of Niagra that no artist 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 Buff'lo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon
And Godiva, but with her pajamas on
La-la-la, la-la-la, La-la-la, la-la-la
Here is Grover Whalen unveilin' the Tryton
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Islan'
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the Rhumba
Here's her Social Security numba
La-la-la, la-la-la, La-la-la, la-la-la
Lydia, Lydia, say have you met Lydia
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.

[Intro:]
Smooth!
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what i like)(hold me, squeeze me)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what i like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what i like)(hold me, squeeze me)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what i like)
[Verse 1:]
In some secluded rendezvous
That overlooks the avenue
He stepped into the streets and walked up to this girl
He had a cap tooth made of gold
He had an earing in his nose
And her looks, that a night he liked to twirl
And he says:
"I love the way you look at me, I love your smile
Why don't you come and talk to me just for a while?
Give me your love, oohhh give me your love
Why don't you come and talk to me, give me your love?
And we can move it like this"
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
[Verse 2:]
And now the hours go by fast
And memories come from the past
As he tells the girl the story of his life
You see a long long time ago
He fell in love, but let her go
And if he had the chance again, she'd be his wife
And he sings to her nightly, he says
"Lydia, oh Lydia, I wish I didn't get ridda ya
Lydia I miss your rose tatoo
There's some things I can't forget
Oh hunny why did I dis ya? (you can learn alot from Lydia)
I gotta move it like this"
Aaahhhhhhh (hold me, squeeze me)
Aaahhhhhhh
Aaahhhhhhh (hold me, squeeze me)
Aaahhhhhhh
[Verse 3:]
Now take a cup and walk away
To this secret hideaway
And our lonely man is at a loss for words
She says "How far do you want to go?"
He says "How far is to Moreau?"
And when they make love, this is all that can be heard
Silence, and then you hear
Aye aye aye aye aye, make sweet love to me
Aye aye aye aye aye, give me ecstacy
Aye aye aye aye aye, make sweet love to me
Give me all those things i miss
But start is off with a kiss
And move a little something like this
Aaahhhhhhh
And now ya move it like this
Aaahhhhhhh
Start it off with a kiss
Then move a little something like this
Aaahhhhhhh
And now ya move it like this
Aaahhhhhhh
Start it off with a kiss, and now ya move it like
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay lay lay
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay lay lay
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay lay lay
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
Bum-de bum-de bum-bum
De-lay lay lay lay lay bum (Hey!)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
(the moral of the story goes like this)
[Verse 3:]
Life brings you surprises (life brings you surprises)
Sometimes problems arise, yea (sometimes problems arise)
Life brings you surprises (life brings you surprises)
Sometimes you don't realize
Til it's right before your eyes
And you say (aahhh)
I love to love you baby (aahhh)
Can't live without ya baby (aahhhh)
Your life, it drives me crazy
If I only get one wish
Number one on my list
To move a little something like this
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
Aaahhhhhhh (baby thats a what I like)
