The Gentleman is a Dope

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
