The Gentleman is a Dope

OSCAR II HAMMERSTEIN, RICHARD RODGERS

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
