Hello I Must Be Going

Lyrics

[Part I: Hello I Must Be Going] [Intro: Groucho Marx & Margaret Dumont] You're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and that's not saying much for you Captain Spaulding, Rittenhouse Manor is entirely at your disposal Well, I'm certainly grateful for this magnificent washout, a turnout. And now, I'd like to say a few words: [Groucho Marx] Hello, I must be going I cannot stay, I came to say, "I must be going" I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going, la-la! [Margaret Dumont] For my sake you must stay If you should go away You'll spoil this party I am throwing! [Groucho Marx] I'll stay a week or two I'll stay the summer through But I am telling you: I must be going [Party guests] Before you go Won't you oblige us And tell us all your deeds so glowing? [Groucho] I'll do anything you say! In fact, I'll even stay! [Party Guests] Good! [Groucho Marx] But I must be going! [Part II: Hooray for Captain Spaulding] [Zeppo Marx] There's something that I'd like to say That he's too modest to relay The Captain is a moral man Sometimes he finds it trying [Groucho Marx] This fact I'll emphasize with stress: I never drink unless somebody's buying [Party Guests] The Captain is a very moral man! [Zeppo Marx] If he hears anything obscene, he'll naturally repel it [Groucho Marx] I hate a dirty joke, I do Unless it's told by someone who knows how to tell it [Party Guests] The Captain is a very moral man Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer! [Groucho Marx] Did someone call me Schnorrer? [Party Guests] Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! [Zeppo Marx] He went into the jungles, where the monkeys throw nuts [Groucho Marx] If I stay here, I'll go nuts [Party Guests] Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! He puts all his reliance In courage and defiance And risks his life for science [Groucho Marx] Hey! Hey! (Yoo-ha-ha!) [Margaret Dumont] He is the only white man to cover every acre [Party Guests] Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! He puts all his reliance In courage and defiance And risks his life for science [Groucho Marx] Hey! Hey! (Yoo-ha-ha!) [Party Guests] Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer! He put his name on dying fame and that is why we say: Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! [Groucho Marx] My friends, I'm highly gratified of this magnificent display of effusion And I want you to know... [Party Guests] Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer! He put his name on dying fame and that is why we say: Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! [Groucho Marx] My friends, I'm highly gratified of this magnificent display of effusion And I want you to know... [Party Guests] Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer! He put his name on dying fame and that is why we say: Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! [Groucho Marx] My friends, I'm highly gratified of this magnificent display of effusion And I want you to know Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer! Well, somebody's gotta do it
