paroles de chanson English Diplomacy - The Mighty Sparrow

The people say that Englishmen are gentlemen
Still I'd rather see a Yankee with my girlfriend
They tell me that Englishmen are gentlemen
I'd rather see a Yankee talk to my girlfriend
For with the Yankee I never be angry
Sooner or later he will spend his money freely
These people from Oxford University
Intend to get through with their big words and diplomacy

Hear the English...
"Positively, definitely, most assuredly"
But no currency
So if your girlfriend have no common sense
Without a cent, he's gonna penetrate her defense!

When you see an Englishman is on a spree
Like if he swallow a Webster's dictionary
Grammatical phrases like a millionaire
Not for hell, the bloke wouldn't even buy a beer
And he so boldfaced, picking and choosing woman
Til he gets Ann-Margret or Ingrid Bergman
When he fix up and time for payment reach
He want to give her a florin and a bundle of speech

You are so loveable, quite kissable
You are quite capable, but it's regrettable
That I cannot recompense you most adequately
For the accomplished talent you've bestowed on me!

If my girlfriend tired living
Just let me catch her with an Englishman gossiping
Because every English bloke is a diplomat
And I know that no money wouldn't come out that gap
Through diplomatics, skullduggery, England won the last war
So she may get a Schweppes bitter lemon, but nothing more
And if she begged the limey for a raise
He will tell her of the ladies of olden days

They had so much purity and full of chastity
And nobility had no uses for money
So if your girlfriend have no common sense
Without a cent he's going to penetrate her defense!
