W. S. Gilbert

For he might have been a Rooshian A French or Turk or Proosian Or perhaps Italian. But in spite of all temptations To belong to other nations He remains an Englishman.

He did nothing in particular And did it very well.

Of that there is no manner of doubt - No probable possible shadow of doubt - No possible doubt whatever.

Things are seldom what they seem Skim milk masquerades as cream.

Did nothing in particular And did it very well.
