Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
G7 G7
Lydia the tattooed lady
F F C C F F C C
She has eyes that men adore so
Dm Dm F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm F F
And a torso even more so
C C
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
G7 G7
Lydia, the queen of tattoo
F F
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo
Dm Dm
Beside it the Wreck of the Hesperus, too
C C F F
And proudly above waves the red, white and blue
C C G7 G7 C C
You can learn a lot from Lydia

C C
La la la la la la
C C G7 G7
La la la la la la

Eb Eb
When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world
Bb Bb
If you step up and tell her where
Bb Bb
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree
Eb Eb
Or Washington crossing the Delaware

C C
La la la la la la
C C G7 G7
La la la la la la

C C
Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
G7 G7
Lydia the tattooed lady
F F C C F F C C
When her muscles start relaxin'
Dm Dm F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm F F
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
C C
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
F F
Oh Lydia, the queen of them all
Dm Dm
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz
F F
With a view of Niagara that nobody has
C C F F
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz
C C G7 G7 C C
You can learn a lot from Lydia

C C
La la la la la la
C C G7 G7
La la la la la la

Eb Eb
Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso

Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso

Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon

Here's Godiva but with her pajamas on

C C
La la la la la la
C C G7 G7
La la la la la la

Eb Eb
Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' the Tri-lon
Bb Bb
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on

Here's Nijinski a-doin' the rumba
Eb Eb
Here's her social security numbah

Eb Eb
(Whistling instead of singing la la la...)
C C
(Whistling instead of singing la la la...)

C C
Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
F F
Oh Lydia, the champ of them all
Dm Dm
She once swept an admiral clear off his feet
F F
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
C C F F
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet
C C G7 G7 C C
For he went and married Lydia

I know they don't utilize ukulele in this version, but this is what I go off of.

Been trying to figure out a strumming pattern for this. If anyone wants to share one that might work, I'd love to give it a shot.
