In the song "I'm Going Shopping With You," lyricist Al Dubin is alluding to Shakespeare in the line about the beauty shop: "If they paint you, they're silly./You can't paint a lily." The line from the play King John, "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily," as examples of pointless "improvements," is often misquoted as "to gild the lily."
