The Gentleman Is A Dope - Jo Stafford/Sammy Kaye & His Orchestra

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 beating 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 crying my eyes out

As if he belonged to me

He'll never belong to me

The gentleman doesn't know

How happy he could be

But look at me crying my eyes out

As if he belonged to me

He'll never ever

He'll never belong to me
