No. 26 - Song - Lally - "The Sort of Chap."
Lyrics by Leslie Mayne
| Lally: | There's a little question people ask you now and then, "What's the sort of man you like to know?" Well, of course, I answer that I'm pals with lots of men; Heaps of sorts of chaps I like to know! But perhaps I like the man who asks me out to dine, Orders such a dinner and the most delightful wine; Then when I'm in trouble he will come and pay the fine, That's the sort of friend I like to know! That's the sort of man I like to know, Late at night he's always on the go. Sees you home at half-past four, Sticks your latch-key in your door — That's the sort of pal I like to know! There's another question which was asked me by a chap, "What's the sort of girl you like to know?" I've a cousin Bob who says he doesn't care a rap, Any kind of girl he likes to know! I prefer a pretty one with tender eyes of grey; Teeth that might be rows of pearls and such a taking way, If I ask to kiss her, she must answer "Yes you may!" That's the sort of girl I like to know! That's the sort of girl I like to know, One that's not too fast and not too slow, She shall light my cigarette, And she'll smoke one too, you bet! That's the sort of girl I like to know! Tell me this, you fellows, have you got a rich old aunt? That's the sort of aunt I like to know! As a private benefactor, equal her you can't — That's the sort of aunt I like to know! Up she comes to London with her parrots and her pets, Hears you've been to Epsom and have lost a lot of bets — Gives you such a scolding — but she settles all your debts! That's the sort of aunt I like to know! That's the sort of aunt I like to know, I could do with half a score or so, If you've got some aunts like these, Introduce me, if you please! They're the sort of aunts I like to know! |
