A Gentleman’s Gentleman Songtext
von Oxbow

(You see, the Duke′s mustache is like cordite
And his head is clean-shaven
And his neck is fucking bull-like
And his fingers are muscled and tight

The Duke is deluxe and delightful
And the lovers of him all say so
Before they leave and after they go, go!

And at the Duke's, eyes smile all the time
And the water and the wine flow all the time
And when the Duke talks he sounds like a mime

With his hands doing all the talking, all the talking

With his hands doing all the talking
With his hands doing all the-
With his hands doing all the-
With his hands doing all the talking


... that measure the years a dollar at a time
And there′s a lot of time
And money works over here like a cleaver
Cleaver, cleaver

Despite which the Duke draws nearer
And his corded arm draws you so you can hear a little clearer
As your free arm lifts up the beast and the burden
Like all of his men
While his hands do all the talking)

You see, the Duke's mustache is like cordite
And his head is clean-shaven
And his neck is fucking bull-like
And his fingers are muscled and tight

The Duke is deluxe and delightful
And the lovers of him all say so
Before they leave and after they go

And at the Duke's, eyes smile all the time
And the water and the wine flow all the time
And when the Duke talks he sounds like a mime

With his hands doing all the talking
