If a custom tailored vet
asks me out for something wet,
when the vet begins to pet, I cry hooray!
But I'm always true to you darling in my fashion
Yes I'm always true to you darling in my way.
When I'm asked to have a meal
by a big tycoon in steel
if the meal includes a deal, accept I may!
But I'm always true to you darling in my fashion
Yes I'm always true to you darling in my way.
Mr. Harris plutocrat
wants to give my cheek a pat.
If the Harris pat means a Paris hat, he may!
But I'm always true to you darling in my fashion
Yes I'm always true to you darling in my way.
There's an oilman known as Tex
who is keen to give me checks
and these checks I fear mean that Tex is here to stay!
But I'm always true to you darling in my fashion
Yes I'm always true to you darling in my way.

I was amused to read your post, MacArthur, and immediately think of this Cole Porter song. I would guess that Mr. Porter has read Mr. Dowson.
