Who's Almost Who In Knickerbocker Village History: Yip Harburg

A special KV father's day present from the 1942 movie "Ship Ahoy". The greatest woman tap dancer ever, Eleanor Powell, with the greatest drummer ever, Buddy Rich. The song by one of the greatest lyricists ever, E.Y. Harburg, who lived at 55 Hester Street between Allen and Eldridge in 1900. Bert Lahr (Irving Lahrheim) was a NYC "boy" as well.

Have you met Dolores? She's queen of the forest
Have you met Olivia? Her I'd gladly give ya
Have you met the queen, the rulah, Tallulah
For that gal Tallulah I would fight a duela,
I would climb a hillah, I'll paddle to Priscilla,
But this is getting sillah, I'm getting lots of thrillah, Tallulah
When she starts to lock on to a man to love she wants to fricassee
No one doing the hula, can do what Tallulah can do to me.
I have met Fatima (Fatima is a schemma)
I have met Marquita (Marquita is a cheeta)
I have met Jemima, she's a social climba
I have met Ophelia, she will double deal ya,
Just one who'll love me Trullah, I'll take Tallulah
