English Diplomacy

The people say that Englishmen are gentlemen
Still I'd rather see a Yankee with my girlfriend
They tell me that Englishmen are gentlemen
I'd rather see a Yankee talking my girlfriend
For with the Yankee, I'd never be angry
Sooner or later he will spend his money freely
These people from Oxford University
Intend to get through with their big words and diplomacy

Hear the English...
"Positively, definitely, most assurеdly", but no currency
So if your girlfriend have no common sеnse
Without a cent, he's sure to penetrate her defense

When you see an Englishman is on a spree
Like if he swallow a Webster's dictionary
Grammatical phrases like a millionaire
Not for hell, the bloke won't even buy a beer
And he so boldfaced, picking and choosing woman
Till he gets Ann-Margret or Ingrid Bergman
When he fix up and time for payment reach
He want to give her a [?] and a bundle of speech

"My darling, you are so lovable, very, very, very kissable
You are quite capable, but it's regrettable
That I cannot recompense you most adequately
For the accomplished talent you've bestowed on me"

If my girlfriend tired living
Just let me catch her with an Englishman gossiping
Because every English bloke is a diplomat
And I know that no money won't come out that gap
Through diplomatic skullduggery England won the last war
She may get a Schweppes with a lemon, but nothing more
And if she beg the limey for a raise
He will tell her of the "ladies in olden days"

"They had so much purity and of course chastity and nobility
And no uses for money"
So if your girlfriend have no common sense
Without a cent he's going to penetrate her defense
