SICH A NICE MAN TOO!, SELECTION, by ALBERT CHEVALIER First Line: There's parties ad yer meets about Last Line: With a gentleman by birth and education! Subject(s): Chevalier, Albert (1861-1923); Gentlemen | |||
There's parties ad yer meets about Wot wins yer 'eart instanter; They give the rest a goodish start And beats 'em in a canter. There's one I know as licks 'em all, And that's my fellow-lodger, He's up to ev'ry knowin' fake, A fair old artful dodger. CHORUS Sich a nice man too! Sich a very nice man, Not a bit stuck up, no beastly affectation, One who somehow makes you feel That you really have to deal With a gentleman by birth and education! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHARADE: 15 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL LIBERALITY OF SENTIMENT: AND SO HOME by CORNELIUS WHUR "TO A GENTLEMAN, WHO DESIRED PROPER MATERIALS FOR A MONODY" by ANONYMOUS THE WILLOWS by FRANCIS BRET HARTE THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS by AUGUSTE ANGELLIER HOURS OF RECREATION by LEVI BISHOP THE HUMOURS O' GLESKA FAIR by JOHN BRECKENRIDGE ROSE PERENNIAL by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN LOVE SONGS: 9.
