The Mayor looked in the other day, he thinks I've blue blood by the way
We talked of wines, my cook came in about a meal it seemed
She said, 'Excuse me,sir, but will you have your kipper steamed?'
Chorus: Well. I'm not a chap to get upset by trivial affairs
But my cook's remarks re 'kippers' caused confusion
Of course my friend the Mayor thought at least I eat jugged hare
So I naturally resented the intrusion.
One early closing day, of course the day closed early too
Which made the evenings rather dark, my fairy footsteps sought the park
A quiet spot of course, I shouldn't be disturbed, I know
Until I heard the wife say 'Hello, John dear, is that you?'
Chorus: Well. I'm not a chap to get upset by trivial affairs
Still I couldn't greet the wife with much effusion
I should not have cared, you see, but a girl was on my knee
So I naturally resented the intrusion.
I've always liked the upper ten, they've all been friends to me
I often call at Grosvenor Square, I've a lot of chums round there
One early morn at 3 am, I called at forty eight
And saw a beastly burglar, packing up the Earl's best plate
Chorus: Well. I'm not a chap to get upset by trivial affairs
But it wouln't do to cause the least confusion
That he'd got there first, you see
So I naturally resented the intrusion.
I bought a house one day, for which I paid hard cash
A silly thing to do I know, it pays much better when you owe
Three stories high, six rooms in all, 'twas Jerry built, I'm sure
I woke one morn, found all six rooms were on the bottom floor
Chorus: Well. I'm not a chap to get upset by trivial affairs
When the stairs collapsed, of course, it caused confusion
But when the roof and bedroom fell through the kitchen ceiling, well
I naturally resented the intrusion.
