English Society

Lyrics

[Verse 1] An English man was teaching me How to live socially An English man was teaching me How to live socially He said in the world of high society There isn't anything like petty jealousy If your wife love a man or a man love your wife Such are the ethics of social life [Chorus] I said I agree this time if you see How he madam gazing at me My wife is a blithe, he wife is all right I want to join society tonight Wepsee mama! [Verse 2] I made my debut in social life They send the Mayor to escort my wife Ordinarily it would have been a shock to me But who vex losе in society They introduce mе to an old feller name Tate He wife ain't worth at all but he daughter looking great Ah make meh attack, the Limey pull me back He say "Wait, we got better than that" [Chorus] I said I agree this time if you see He madam looking at me My wife is a blithe, he wife is all right I want to join society tonight Wepsee mama! [Verse 3] He say the best friend a man should keep Is a next man with whom your wife love to sleep If they gone home romancing Keep a lot of noise, let them know you're coming That is to give them time to put themselves right Prevent embarrassment with no unusual sight But if it happen so you catch them in the act Say "excuse me" and turn your back [Chorus] I said I agree this time if you see He madam still watching at me My wife is a blithe, he wife is all right I want to join society tonight Wepsee mama-yo! [Verse 4] He took my wife and he went with she In a corner quietly I took his wife but I went with she In me old shack up Laventille Tell you, early in the morning, quarter after three The Englishman came up there complaining to me My wife refuse to cooperate with he I must resign from society [Chorus] I said I agree but as you can see I'm very, very busy Turn your face if you don't mind Everything will work out fine When I'm finished, then I goin' resign Wepsee mama!
