Now Percival Gregory Grandison Lee	A
He came of a fine old stock	B
His sire was an eminent K C B	A
But Percival never appeared to be	A
A chip off that shrewd old block	B
In spite of the strain	C
He was weak of brain	C
Though a jolly good fellow was he	A
And to tell the truth	D
In his gilded youth	D
His manner of living was free	A
	-
	-
Now Percival's father the elder Lee	A
Aspired to the House of Lords	E
So he earnestly sought for the s d	A
Becoming a prominent guinea pig he	A
Was chairman of numerous Boards	E
But the game was rash	F
And there came a smash	F
And he perished of felo de se	G
And up to his neck	H
In the subsequent wreck	H
Was Percival Grandison Lee	A
	-
	-
So Percy resigned from the King's armee	I
He couldn't maintain the style	J
And after a harrowing period he	A
Was faced by the spectre of bank rupt cee	G
His schedule he had to file	J
He smiled through court	K
Like a hardy sport	K
But he sorrowed in privacee	G
For an easy job	L
For a hard up nob	L
Isn't growing on every tree	A
	-
	-
He touched then for tenners so frequentlee	J
That the friends of Lee deceased	G
A length procession of loans could see	A
And they whispered to one of the Ministree	A
As Percival's plans increased	G
Thus they shipped him off	M
As a gilded toff	M
On the staff of a high grandee	G
To earn his bread	G
As a figurehead	G
And a Governor's A D C	A
	-
	-
In that country of democrats o'er the sea	A
The cream of Society's cream	I
They worship a feathered and frilled grandee	G
And e'er on his gorgeous A D C	A
The 'nicest' are ready to beam	I
His boots were tight	G
And his hat was bright	G
And his tie was a fantasee	A
And the wealthiest girls	A
Society's pearls	A
Just loved his refulgency	A
	-
	-
He strolled in the wake of the high grandee	G
In his glittering uniform	I
At frivols and functions and afternoon tea	G
He lolled with a manner so easy and free	G
That he took the girls by storm	I
And he wooed a maid	G
Of the sheep brigade	G
One of the squatocracee	A
With a station Outback	N
And a house at Toorak	N
And they wedded right merrilee	J
	-
	-
Now Percival Gregory Grandison Lee	J
In his London club doth dwell	J
He squats at his ease through a deputee	G
That idle and valueless absentee	G
And says that this land is Hell	J
But once every year	A
For the Cup he's here	A
As the master of Bungabaree	A
Our well equipped courses	A
And galloping horses	A
Are all that appeal to Lee	G
