Lyrics:

The gentleman is a dope,

A man of many faults,

A clumsy Joe

Who wouldn't know

A rumba from a waltz.

The gentleman is a dope

And not my cup of tea;

Why do I get in a dither?

He doesn't belong to me!

The gentleman isn't bright,

He doesn't know the score;

A cake will come,

He'll take a crumb

And never ask for more

The gentleman's eyes are blue,

But little do they see,

Why am I beatin' my brains out?

He doesn't belong to me

He's somebody else's problem,

She's welcome to the guy!

She'll never understand him

Half as well as I.

The gentleman is a dope,

He isn't very smart;

He's just a lug

You'd like to hug

And hold against your heart

The gentleman doesn't know

How happy he could be,

But look at me cryin' my eyes out

As if he belonged to me;

He'll never belong to me!

The gentleman doesn't know

How happy he could be,

But look at me cryin' my eyes out

As if he belonged to me;

He'll never belong to me!

No more to my knowledge, and I don't know whether the picture of Charlie Brown and Snoopy comes from a movie or a comic. But: you deserve eternal honour! :-)

"quite...umm...diverse" :-D Is that a polite way of saying that I'm probably suffering from moodswings at the very least? ;-) But I did actually aim at diversity, to show my new subscribers I like different types of music and atmospheres :-) Glad you find this one funny!
