The Gentleman is a Dope

[EMILY]
The boss gets on my nerves
I've got a good mind to quit
I've taken all I can
It's time to get up and get
And move to another job
Or maybe another town
The gentleman burns me up
The gentleman gets me down

The gentleman is a dope
A man of many faults
A clumsy Joe
Who wouldn't know
A rhumba 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
Hе doesn't know the score
A cakе 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
Look at me! Crying my eyes out
As if he belonged to me
He'll never belong to me

Taxi!

The gentleman is a dope

Taxi!

The gentleman is a dope

Hey, ta-

Oh, heaven, I'll walk!
