Learn to govern yourself, be gentle and patient
(manners...maketh the man)
Never forget 'excuse me' 'please' and 'thank you'
(manners...maketh the man)
Never speak or act in anger
(manners...maketh the man)
Don't argue, gossip, speak scandal or rumours
(manners...maketh the man)
Chorus:
From the arctic wastes
To dark Peru
From the Bombay slums
To Timbuktu
Two things will always get you through
That's a stiff upper lip
And etiquette
In the evening, give a lady your arm
(manners...maketh the man)
On the street always pass to the right
(manners...maketh the man)
Do not talk loudly - it indicates bad breeding
(manners...maketh the man)
Remain standing if a lady is standing in the room
(manners...maketh the man)
Chorus:
From the Americas
To Katmandu
From the Bombay slums
To Timbuktu
Two things will always get you through
...a stiff upper lip
And etiquette
Be punctual and impeccably groomed
(manners...maketh the man)
Don't allow emotions to get the better of you
(manners...maketh the man)
Avoid ostentatious displays of wealth
(manners...maketh the man)
If wronged, accept apologies with a cold bow
(manners...maketh the man)
Chorus:
From the arctic wastes
To dark Peru
From the Bombay slums
To Timbuktu
Two things will always get you through
That's a stiff upper lip
