Perhaps there's another Groucho song they can sing soon:Hello, I must be going,
I came to say I cannot stay,
I must be going
I'm glad I came but just the same,
I must be going...
Perhaps there's another Groucho song they can sing soon:Hello, I must be going,

Who on earth would even know those songs?
Were you addicted to TV as a kid?
Jamison (Zeppo): There's something that I'd like to state
That he's too modest to relate.
The Captain is a moral man.
Sometimes he finds it trying.
Spaulding (Groucho): This fact I'll emphasize with stress:
I never take a drink unless
Somebody's buying.
Crowd: The Captain is a very moral man.
Jamison: If he hears anything obscene,
He'll naturally repel it.
Spaulding: I hate a dirty joke I do,
Unless it's told by someone who
Knows how to tell it.
Crowd: The Captain is a very moral man.
Hooray for Captain Spaulding,
The African Explorer.
Spaulding: Did someone call me Schnorer?
Crowd: Hooray hooray hooray!
Jamison: He went into the jungle,
Where all the monkeys throw nuts.
Spaulding: If I stay here I'll go nuts.
Crowd: Hooray hooray hooray.
Crowd: He put all his reliance
In courage and defiance.
And risked his life for science.
Spaulding: Hey hey!
Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont): He is the only white man
Who covered every acre.
[Note: This line is often edited from the film, and the version from which the sound clip was taken is no exception] Spaulding: I think I'll try and make her.
Crowd: Hooray hooray hooray!
Crowd: He put all his reliance
In courage and defiance.
And risked his life for science.
Spaulding: Hey hey!
Crowd: Hooray for Captain Spaulding,
The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame,
And that is why we say:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Spaulding (spoken): My friends, I am highly gratified at this
magnificent display of effusion. And I want you to know -
Crowd (interrupting): Hooray for Captain Spaulding,
The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame,
And that is why we say:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Spaulding (spoken): My friends, I am highly gratified at this
magnificent display of effusion. And I want you to know -
Crowd (interrupting again): Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame,
And that is why we say:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Spaulding (spoken): My friends, I am highly gratified at this
magnificent display of effusion. And I want you to know...
(singing): Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African Inquirer.
(spoken): Well, somebody's gotta do it.
