When you meet somebody
For the first time
There are special things
You're supposed to say
Which you may not mean
But they sound polite as can be
Would you like to learn them?

Well then, repeat after me
Hapy to make your acquaintance

'Appy to make your acquaintance

Thank you so much, I feel fine
T'ank you so much, omma feel fine

Happy to make your acquaintance
Acquaintance
And let me say the pleasure
Da pleasure
Is Mine
Da pleasure's-a mine

How do you do? Pleased to know you
'Ow do you do? Pleased to know you
And though my English is poor
My English is-a goddamn' poor!

Happy to make your acquaintance
Now won't you please say, likewise
Look-a-wise
No 
Likewise
Like-a-ways
No 
Likewise
Oh, like-a-wise
I'm sure
