"What A Gentleman Does" lyrics
Every boy here in this hall, I'm sure
Will grow up big and strong
Will speak in voices deep and pure
And wear their tieses long
You'll all grow taller, even sprout peach fuzz
Without much help from me, but
A real man must be a gentle man
So here's what a gentleman does
Ahem, you there, pay attention
When the boy becomes a man
His girl may become a wife
And before too long a family may occupy his life
An uncouth, common, ordinary man may want to run or hide
But what a gentleman does is to stay right there and make sure his family thrives
What a gentleman does
What a gentleman does
Even when it gets rough
He is gentle because
What a gentleman does is stay
That's rule number 1
But there are other rules to being a gentleman, equally important
For example
Say the Prince of Zanzibar was popping over for tea
Would you know which set of china was correct to serve to royalty?
A boorish, simple, vulgar man may not know what to do, but
What a gentleman does is to get it right so the blasted prince will approve!
What a gentleman does
What a gentleman does
Though there may be a fuss
He is gentle because
What a gentleman does is right
Say, now you're in the spirit!
Jolly good
Ha!
I say, children
If I ask for your advice, because I'm not sure what to do
Can't imagine that happening too often
But you should always try to speak the truth
Although my pride may bruise
A blunt, unflattering, tactless man may tell the truth no fear
But what a gentleman does is give me advice and make me think it's my idea
What a gentleman does
What a gentleman does
If he's someone you trust
He is gentle because
What a gentleman does is not lie
What a gentleman does
Hahaha, that's it
Like Louis 14, John [?], Sir Walter Raleigh, [?], Arthur the King, or Cary Grant on the screen
What a gentleman does
What a gentleman does
What a gentleman does is shine!
Jolly good
Will grow up big and strong
Will speak in voices deep and pure
And wear their tieses long
You'll all grow taller, even sprout peach fuzz
Without much help from me, but
A real man must be a gentle man
So here's what a gentleman does
Ahem, you there, pay attention
When the boy becomes a man

And before too long a family may occupy his life
An uncouth, common, ordinary man may want to run or hide
But what a gentleman does is to stay right there and make sure his family thrives
What a gentleman does
