lyrics
For the gentleman with everything
What can you bring?
A telephone dialer? A cracker jack ring?
He’ll merely scoff
When the sheen’s worn off
And it’s already vanishing
For the gentleman with everything
Wait at the door
It’s easier if you’ll simply ignore
The blithely bright
Second-floor light
The way you feel desperately poor
I don’t know what I said
But I know what I meant
And if you resent it
I’ll gladly repent of it
For the gentleman with everything
Please be discreet
Don’t sit so still at his feet:
A docible stray
To frighten away
Then coax back so sweetly
I don’t know what I said
But I know what I meant
And if you resent it
I’ll gladly repent of it
What can you bring?
A telephone dialer? A cracker jack ring?
He’ll merely scoff
When the sheen’s worn off
And it’s already vanishing
For the gentleman with everything
Wait at the door
It’s easier if you’ll simply ignore
The blithely bright
Second-floor light
The way you feel desperately poor
I don’t know what I said
But I know what I meant
And if you resent it
I’ll gladly repent of it
For the gentleman with everything
Please be discreet
Don’t sit so still at his feet:
A docible stray
To frighten away
Then coax back so sweetly
I don’t know what I said
But I know what I meant
And if you resent it
I’ll gladly repent of it
