[C]Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia the tattooed [G7]lady
[F]She has [C]eyes that [F]folks a[C]dore so
[F]And a [Dm]torso [F]even [Dm]more so
[C]Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh, Lydia the Queen of Tat[F]too
On her [Dm]back is The Battle of Waterloo
Be[F]side it The Wreck of the Hesperus, too
And [C]proudly above waves the [F]red, white, and blue.

La la la, [Eb]la la la

La la la, [C]la la la

Oh Lydia the queen of them [F]all
For two [Dm]bits she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a [F]view of Niagara that nobody has

You can [C]learn a [G7]lot from [C]Lydia!

La la la, [Eb]la la la

La la la, la la la

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
