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!
