The English are frosty When you're no kith or kin Of theirs, but how they alter When once they take you in! The kindest, the truest, The best friends ever known, It's hard to remember How they froze you to a bone. They showed me all London, Johnnie and his friends; They took me to the country For long week ends; I never was so happy, I never had such fun, I stayed many weeks in England Instead of just one.
