(the following sung to the tune above)
Hooray for Captain Spaulding,the African explorer.
I think they call hom schnorer.
Hooray - Hooray - Hooray!!!
All of them breaking all the rules.
A theatre of the absurd.
Zannyness from pue hearts.
Scampering imps tormenting Margaret Dumont,
the dowager butt of their jokes.
Then turning off-camerato her friend Julius
-glasses, mustache, long dark coat,trousers moving
with that bent-over walk;looking like a funloving penguin.
Holding a cigar as a baton.
Leading symphonies of silliness.
Waggling his eyebrows in lascivious delight.
Asking him - who everyone knew as 'GROUCHO'
-"Why are they laughing at us?"
While glamorous women gleefully cavortamid
accents from sad-faced 'CHEEKO'as curlyheaded 'HARPO'
honks that horn!And 'GROUCHO' smiles,
unable to explain...how they have eliminated any
"San-i-ty Clause"!
