on watching a television show on the great GROUCHO...

Animal Crackers Or Piano Sonata #21 in C, opus 53*
(*known as the WALDSTEIN SONATA
dedicated by Ludwig van Beethoven
to Count Ferdinand von Waldstein,
composed 1803-1804, published 1805)

the following 'played lightly'with great energy
...Da-dee-dah-dah-dah-dah-dum
Da-dee-dah-dah-dah-dah-dum
Da-dee-dah-dah-dah-dah-dum
Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dum
(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 pure hearts.
Scampering imps tormenting Margaret Dumont,
the dowager butt of their jokes.
Then turning off-camera to her friend Julius-
glasses, mustache, long dark coat, trousers moving
with that bent-over walk-looking like a fun loving 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 cavort amid
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"!
Always classic THE MARX BROTHERS.
