Lyrics
Well, you never know just who you’re goin’ to meet
When you’re walkin’ down a busy St. John’s street
Mrs. Corbet, Mrs. Brown, any subject of the Crown
Oh, you never know just who you’re goin’ to meet.
So, you better hold your topper in your hand
Just in case you meet a lady on the strand
Girls will think you’re kind of sweet
And your day will be complete
Oh, you never know just who you’re going to meet.
Now a gentleman is judged by his appearance
Yes! a gentleman is judged by how he talks.
Now he’s much better off, when he takes his evening walk
Oh, you never knw just who you’re goin’ to meet.
Well, you never know just who you’re going’ to meet
When you’re walkin’ down a busy St. John’s street
So you better wear your vest
and try to look your best
‘Cause you never know just who you’re goin’ to meet.
So, you better keep your manners right in view
Jsut in case a lady gives “How do you do?”
Keep your troubles in a heap,
Shine your shoes and keep them neat
‘Cause you never know just who you’re goin’ to meet.
