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 SONNET: TO DANTE by GUIDO CAVALCANTI FULL OF LIFE NOW by WALT WHITMAN THE CLOAK, THE BOAT, AND THE SHOES by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS PSALM 104 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE SPRING by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD UNDER THE TREES by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY BALLAD TO THE TUNE OF 'THE HEALTHS' by PATRICK CAREY THE CANTERBURY TALES: THE MAN OF LAW'S TALE by GEOFFREY CHAUCER |
