An Englishman was teaching me
He said in the world of high society
there isn't anything like petty jealousy
such are the ethics of social life
I said I agree this time,
if you see how he madam gazin' at me
My wife is a blighty wife of a right,
I wanna join society tonight
I made my debut in social life,
send the mayor to escort my wife
Ordinarily it would have been a shock to me
But who vex losing society
but the daughter lookin' great
And make me a taffy line, it pull me back
He say, wait, we got better than that
I said, I agree this time, if you see
My wife is a blighty wife to go right
I wanna join society tonight
He say the best friend a man should keep
If they gone home, romance him
let them know you come in
That is to give them time
you catch them in the act
Say excuse me and turn your back
I said, I agree this time
My wife is a blind, he wife look all right
I wanna join society tonight
He took my wife and he went with she
I took his wife but I went with she
In my old shack of lavender
Tell you early in the morning,
My wife refused to cooperate with me
I must resign from society
But as you can see, I am very, very busy
Turn your face if you don't mind
Everything will work out fine
When I finish, then I will resign
