Lines From Marx Brothers' Movies Spam Thread

[brother vinny]

Okay, you should know what to do. Provide a quote from a Marx Brothers' film, along with an attribution to the character who said it and the film in which it was said, as below:

You're willing to pay him a thousand dollars a night just for singing? Why, you can get a phonograph record of Minnie the Moocher for 75 cents. And for a buck and a quarter, you can get Minnie.

--Otis P. Driftwood (Groucho), A Night At The Opera

"I wouldn't be a member of any club that would have me."

(No clue as to which movie. I think Groucho said it, tho.)

[brother vinny]

"Africa is God's country, and he can have it."

--Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding (Groucho), Animal Crackers

Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia? Lydia the tattooed lady
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
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 waves the red, white and blue
You can learn a lot from Lydia

(la la la, la la la)
(la la la, la la la)

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

(la la la, la la la)
(la la la, la la la)

Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Oh Lydia the tattooed lady
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
Oh Lydia, the queen of them all
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a view of Niagara that nobody has
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz
You can learn a lot from Lydia

(la la la, la la la)
(la la la, la la la)

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


(la la la, la la la)
(la la la, la la la)

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

Ah Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia
Oh 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 :thumb: :thumb:

Brother Vinnie, I think you're unlikely to get many who know the character name and the film. Still:

"Mrs. Claypool: Are you sure you have everything, Otis?
Groucho: I've never had any complaints yet..."
