| The other day I lunched at a place | B |
| Where there was a pretty lady | A |
| During the course of the talk | C |
| The pretty lady said to me | A |
| You see Everybody is out of town | D |
| At present | E |
| I said Who is Everybody | A |
| Whereupon the pretty lady replied | F |
| Well er Everybody | A |
| I said Quite so | G |
| But don't you think it is rather | H |
| Fortunate that Everybody is out of town | D |
| And the pretty lady answered and said | I |
| No | G |
| I conclude therefore | J |
| That you Everybody | A |
| Must on the whole be rather nice | K |
| I hope you are | L |
| For Everybody should be rather nice | K |
| Should they not | M |
| And when I come to think of it | N |
| The circumstance that I heard of you | O |
| The other day | P |
| Has nothing prodigiously unusual about it | N |
| Really and truly | A |
| One is always hearing about you | O |
| One is believe me | A |
| For example the paragraph writers assure me | A |
| That Everybody is reading | Q |
| Miss So and So's great novel | R |
| Also that Everybody will join with them | S |
| In congratulating Miss So and So on her approaching marriage | T |
| Also that Everybody is in the Highlands | U |
| That Everybody anticipates a good season | V |
| That Everybody keeps a houseboat | W |
| That Everybody sups at the Carlton after the theatre | H |
| That Everybody recognises in Lord Salisbury a great statesman | V |
| That Everybody plays golf | X |
| That Everybody who can afford it dresses well | Y |
| That Everybody knows the King has tact | Z |
| That Everybody thinks the Queen grows younger as she grows older | H |
| That Everybody hopes Sir Thomas Lipton | V |
| Will win the America Cup | A2 |
| And so on | B2 |
| Which is well | Y |
| I don't mind in the least | C2 |
| Why should I | D2 |
| Yet if I were Everybody | A |
| I imagine that I should not do things | E2 |
| Quite in the same way that you do them | S |
| To my mind your great defect is that you do things | E2 |
| Not because you like to do them | S |
| But simply because | F2 |
| Everybody does them | S |
| This is an excellent reason | V |
| From your point of view | O |
| But to me it seems a trifle stupid | G2 |
| Who is reading Miss So and So's book | H2 |
| Everybody | A |
| Why are they reading it | N |
| Because Everybody is reading it | N |
| Do they like Miss So and So's book | H2 |
| They are not quite sure | I2 |
| But Everybody says it is good | J2 |
| And therefore Everybody must read it | N |
| Why are frock coats worn | K2 |
| Because Everybody wears them | S |
| Why does Everybody wear them | S |
| Because Everybody wears them | S |
| Why does Everybody dine at a certain restaurant | L2 |
| Because Everybody dines there | M2 |
| Why does Everybody dine there | M2 |
| Because Everybody dines there | M2 |
| Why does | N2 |
| But there | M2 |
| I forbear | M2 |
| Did time allow I might multiply instances | N2 |
| Till Everybody felt bored | O2 |
| But I stay min' hand | P2 |
| Enough you know is as good as a feast | C2 |
| Likewise better a stalled ox | Q2 |
| Than a dinner of herbs | R2 |
| Everybody says so | G |
| Wherefore I am constrained to believe it | N |
| By way of conclusion let us ask ourselves | S2 |
| What is happening just now | T2 |
| Everybody says | U2 |
| That nothing is happening just now | T2 |
| And that everything is frightfully dull | R |
| And | V2 |
| Everybody | A |
| Is | - |
| Quite | W2 |
| Right | W2 |
