When you've managed with the tailor for a rig-out of a sort / And you find the coat or trousers are an inch or so too short, / Do not fret and swear and worry, make the tailor see you through -- / I have been through many new suits, I'm an older man than you.

When your girl is interfering with your appetite and work, / With your sleep and time and reason till the jealous demons lurk; / When your girl is playing with you, leave her for a week or two: / If in vain, then quit for ever! -- I'm an older man than you.
