Dear Sir or MadamA
As the case may beB
Peace hath her victories as well as warC
And sometimesD
When I have occasion to travelE
In this muggy metropolis of oursF
I begin to wonder whether I really am in LondonG
Or in New YorkH
On the tops of Atlas 'buses and all other 'busesF
At the dining tables of hotels at all pricesF
At all theatresF
At all music hallsF
At all art galleriesF
At all eveningsF
At all social functionsF
Metropolitan in their natureI
You my dear Sir or MadamA
As the case may beB
Flourish and are to the foreC
There are people in the worldJ
Who can pick you out at a glanceF
The American woman I am toldK
Wears a certain kind of complexionG
And a certain kind of blouseF
The American man I am toldK
Is weedy and an micL
A cigarette smokerI
A confirmed spitterI
And a moderate drinkerI
He has a soft hat and unlimited dollarsF
It is his dollars of courseF
Which are creating all the troubleE
They are beginning to circulateM
And geta holtN
Wherever honest Britons most do congregateM
My tobacco merchantO
Who sells me two ounces of the real thing every weekP
Has just been bought up by an American syndicateQ
My barber is in the same caseF
And I feel sureI
That the woman who brings home the laundryI
Is seriously considering proposals which have been made to herI
By a syndicate of wealthy American gentlemenR
The electric lighting plant in St Paul's CathedralE
Was it seems paid for by an AmericanG
Another American is doing something or otherI
With the underground railwaysF
And a third proposes to erect a buildingS
Which will contain roomsF
On one of the best sitesF
On the new Holborn Strand improvementO
Also I am usingS
An American roll top deskT
An American typewriterI
An American chairI
American inkU
American pensF
American blotting paperI
American gumA
American paper fastenersF
American notionsF
An American pattern of OdeV
And Heaven knows what besidesF
I am all AmericanG
I can whistle the Star Spangled BannerI
I can reallyI
ShakeW
I like youX
There are no flies on youX
How are Mr Roosevelt and all at homeY
Is Pierpont keeping heartyI
Do you miss Carnegie muchZ
Have you seen the Amur'can eagle at the ZooX
Is Monroe's docterin'G
Good for dyspepsiaZ
And it's O to be at homeY
On the rolling perarieI
With one's money well invested in English concernsF
Run by British labourI
And paying good old fruity nourishing British dividendsF
