[All:] He'll be a la da di da,
have a cigar, proper gentlemun,
strolling down the Leas ev'ry morning.
High society will seek his company,
all along the promenade
the ladies will agree
he's a takeoffhishat,
stopforachat,
proper gentlemun,
in The Grand Hotel they'll be fawning
on the dandy, debonair,
go to Paree to have a bit of fun,
flow'rinhisbuttonhole,
dineattheMonopole, proper gentlemun.

[Girls:] He can do anything,
anything he pleases,
anything he pleases,
he can do.

[Cue to continue: Kipps:] "Tunbridge Wells!"

[Girls:] He can go anywhere,
anywhere he chooses,
anywhere he chooses,
he can go...

[Cue to continue: Kipps:] "collected works of Karl Marx!"

[Girls:] He can buy anything,
anything he fancies,
anything he fancies,
he can buy.

[Cue to continue: Kipps:] "That is real livin'!"

La da di da, La da di da,
La da di da, La da di da,

[All:] He'll be a la da di da,
have a cigar, proper gentlemun,
strolling down the Leas ev'ry morning.
High society will seek his company,
all along the promenade
the ladies will agree
he's a takeoffhishat,

proper gentlemun,
in The Grand Hotel they'll be fawning
on the dandy, debonair,
go to Paree to have a bit of fun,
flow'rinhisbuttonhole,
