If there's anything that I dislike
it's people that are mean,
in fact I think it's actually a crime,
I've known some chaps so blooming mean
that if they'd forty watches
they wouldn't let a blind man know the time.
Now what's the use of hoarding up your dough?
When you snuff it,
can you take it with you?
No!
So....

I believe in hospitality
Hospitality,
I do,
What's the use of being mean?
That's no good to you
(Not likely)
I believe in Hospitality
Ev'ry one's a pal to me,
People when they call,
they never can complain
whiskey, beer and all,
they're laid on from the main,
and I fill 'em up
and fill 'em up
and fill 'em up again
that's what I call Hospitality.

Some chaps wear asbestos pockets
so their money never burns
and think its' economical and wise,
and on the other hand
I've known some folks
who wouldn't see you want for anything,
they'd sooner shut their eyes
and when they give a party or a "do"
you will see the wine
and spirits flow like glue.
So.
