Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?

Lydia the tattooed lady

Lydia, the queen of tattoo

La la la la la la

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

Or Washington crossing the Delaware

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

Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson

For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz

With a view of Niagara that nobody has

You can learn a lot from Lydia

Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' the Tri-lon

Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on

Here's Nijinski a-doin' the rumba

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

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.
