The song Dinah was singing.

What was that? I couldn't make out what she was singing except for a couple of lines..."on her back was a tattoo of the battle of Waterloo", and the wreck of the Hesperas (not sure I spelled that right) too". And then when Liz asked Mike what that was, he replied, but I didn't understand what he said on that either.

I think it's called Lydia the Tattooed Lady. Groucho sings it in one of his movies. I'm pulling a blank on which one.

At the Circus, released just the year before TPS.

Poe! You are...avenged!

Mike's response when Liz asks, "Who's that?" is "Idiot, probably,"

I think it was "Lydia."
