Riding Herald, 9 March 1889) QUITE ENGLISH, YOU KNOW. 1885, by J. F. Valois. What queer things we
see, and what queer things we do, That's English, you
know, quite English, you know; And now its the rage,
and 'tis something quite new, It's English, quite
English, you know. We're out of the
fashion, unless we're agreed To follow wherever they lead; To dress just as they
do, to look as they do, It's English, quite
English, you know. Chorus. It's English, you know,
quite English, you know, How queer are the
people, it's English, you know; We copy their ways, we
pay for their plays, It's English, quite
English, so English, you know. They sent us an actor to
show us the way, That's English, you
know, quite English, you know; He showed us his manner
of playing a play, It's English, quite
English, you know. We studied his walk, and
copied his dress, We puffed him well up in
the press; Some said he was trash,
but he gobbled our cash, It's English, quite
English, you know.-Chorus. They sent us a boxer
from over the sea, That's English, you
know, quite English, you know; He came just to visit
this land of the free, It's English, quite
English, you know. He played the drop game
when at Madison Square And this with a heart
free of care; He managed to join on
with hard Yankee coin, It's English, quite
English, you know.-Chorus. Wakefield Free Press, 2
