A tall slight English gentleman	A
With an eyeglass to his eye	B
He mostly says Good Bai to you	C
When he means to say Good bye	B
He shakes hands like a ladies man	D
For all the world to see	E
But they know in Corners of the World	F
No ladies man is he	E
A tall slight English gentleman	A
Who hates to soil his hands	G
He takes his mother s drawing room	H
To the most outlandish lands	G
And when through Hells we dream not of	I
His battery prevails	J
He cleans the grime of gunpowder	K
And blue blood from his nails	J
	-
He s what our blokes in Egypt call	L
A decent kinder cove	M
And if the Pyramids should fall	L
He d merely say Bai Jove	M
And if the stones should block his path	N
For a twelve month or a day	O
He d call on Sergeant Whatsisname	H
To clear those things away	O
	-
A quiet English gentleman	A
Who dots the Empire s rim	H
Where sweating sons of ebony	E
Would go to Hell for him	H
And if he chances to get winged	P
Or smashed up rather worse	Q
He s quite apologetic to	C
The doctor and the nurse	Q
	-
A silent English gentleman	A
Though sometimes he says Haw	R
But if a baboon in its cage	S
Appealed to British Law	R
And Justice to be understood	T
He d listen all polite	U
And do his very best to set	V
The monkey grievance right	U
	-
A thoroughbred whose ancestry	E
Goes back to ages dim	H
Yet no one on his wide estates	W
Need fear to speak to him	H
Although he never showed a sign	X
Of aught save sympathy	E
He was the only gentleman	A
That shamed the cad in me	E
