Welcome; as you've guessed I'm continental Romantic and sentimental And I look on love as something of an art But I've found that nationalities Have different formalities When dealing with affairs of the heart Now the Spaniard needs a soft guitar And a balcony to climb While the Portuguese needs the breeze in the trees But Englishman needs time The Italians long for an operatic song Or a soft Sicilian wine Well, the French fall in love At the drop of a glove But an Englishman needs time He'll admit to an attraction But show no reaction His lips never part in a sigh What goes on in his breast Is completely surpressed By the weight of his old school tie. The Viennese need a waltz by Strauss or a glockenspiel's sweet chime While the Dutch begin with the bottle of gin But an Englishman needs time New Yorker's needs is variety and speed But as for the West, their needs are more sublime At Hollywood-bowl, they need nothing at all But an Englishman needs time He will meet you maybe Monday night But unless he's quite unique He will call you up around Wednesday noon You'll get flowers Thursday week Though you'll have to wait he may work up to a date But if he's really mad for you He will tenderly said : You look smashing today And invite you to the zoo When you think is all over This mad Casanova arrives in a purposeful way But if he mention sport No, it's not what you thought it's to want him play cricket all day Now in Persia, they need seven veils for a sultan in his prime While an Eskimo needs a whole lot of snow ... But an Englishman needs time Now, I love all those Englishmen but you must admit, they are terribly Anglo-Saxon But after all, it's said and done And the battle is finally won Baby let's contemplate … Who wouldn't wait for an Englishman ... who takes his ... ... time.
