[00:09.42]The gentleman is a dope
[00:12.94]A man of many faults
[00:16.13]A clumsy Joe
[00:17.80]Who wouldn't know
[00:19.43]A rumba from a waltz
[00:22.60]The gentleman is a dope
[00:25.65]And not my cup of tea
[00:28.96]Why do I get in a dither
[00:32.07]He doesn't belong to me
[00:38.35]The gentleman isn't bright
[00:41.95]He doesn't know the score
[00:45.41]A cake will come
[00:46.93]He'll take a crumb
[00:48.60]And never ask for more
[00:51.74]The gentleman's eyes are blue
[00:55.09]But little do they see
[00:58.29]Why am I beating my brains out
[01:01.44]He doesn't belong to me
[01:07.79]He's somebody else's problem
[01:14.08]She's welcome to the guy
[01:20.58]She'll never understand him
[01:26.62]Half as well as I
[01:33.46]The gentleman is a dope
[01:36.97]He isn't very smart
[01:40.18]He's just a lug
[01:41.85]You'd like to hug
[01:43.42]And hold against your heart
[01:46.56]The gentleman doesn't know
[01:49.75]How happy he could be
[01:52.99]But look at me crying my eyes out
[01:56.09]As if he belonged to me
[02:02.44]He'll never belong to me
[02:38.04]The gentleman isn't bright
[02:41.67]He doesn't know the score
[02:44.90]A cake will come
[02:46.43]He'll take a crumb
[02:48.10]And never ask for more
[02:51.35]The gentleman's eyes are blue
[02:54.44]But little do they see
[02:57.84]Why am I beating my brains out
[03:00.88]He doesn't belong to me
[03:07.19]He's somebody else's problem
[03:13.87]She's welcome to the guy
[03:20.46]She'll never understand him
[03:26.56]Half as well as I
[03:33.61]The gentleman is a dope
[03:37.28]He isn't very smart
[03:40.47]He's just a lug
[03:41.95]You'd like to hug
[03:43.62]And hold against your heart
[03:46.96]The gentleman doesn't know
[03:49.91]How happy he could be
[03:53.63]Look at me crying my eyes out
[03:56.91]As if he belonged to me
[04:03.15]He'll never belong to me
