By Jeeves (Original London Cast) Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

It is patently clear
Any awkwardness here
Can be cleared up in less than a trice
Our identity switch
Who is who? Which is which?
We′re in need of some solid advice
There's a painfully simple solution
It′s as plain as the nose on your face

By Gad
By Gosh
By Heck
By Gum
By Rabbit's Foot
By Kingdom Come
By all my sainted aunt believes
By George
By Jove
By Jeeves


When we're faced with the grind
Of exerting the mind
We′re filled with a deep sense of dread

How on Earth, I hear cries
Does one give exercise
To a thing that′s embedded in your head?

What we need is a free-range consultant

Where on Earth do you find one of those?

By Hook, by Crook
By Way, by Pass
By Sea, by Air
By Road
By Grass
By Seven Dwarfs
By Forty Thieves
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
By Shuttlecock
By Croquet Hoop
By Panama
By Windsor Soup
By all those cards tucked up his sleeve
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves


Our collective I.Q
Of around 42
Cannot cope, to be terribly frank
All true leaders of men
Delegate now and then
Try to keep their minds totally blank
To appreciate loftier matters

Things that mostly go over my head

Behold how Jeeves, with sleight of hand
Conceives a scheme so carefully planned
Even we can understand
If he takes it terribly slowly

By Basingstoke
By Cardboard Box
By Budge's Knees

By each that conjuror deceives

By every spell the master weaves
