She has eyes that folks adore so And a torso even moreso 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 wave the red, white and blue You can learn a lot from Lydia! [Chorus] La-dee-da, la-da-dum La-dee-da, ah-da-dum La-da-dum, dum-doo-dum Umm-mm-mm [Bridge] 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 Paris Or Washington crossing thе Delaware [Chorus] La-dee-da, la-da-dum La-dee-ooh, doo-doo-ee [Verse 2] Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you mеt Lydia Lydia, the Tattooed Lady? When her muscles start relaxin' Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson Lydia, oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia 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!
