Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It is patently clear, any awkwardness here
Can be cleared up in less than a trice
Our identities switch, who is who, which is which?
We're in need of some solid advise
[Verse 2]
There's a painfully simple solution
It's as plain as the nose on your face
[Verse 3]
By gad (My gosh), by heck (By gum)
By rabbit's foot (By kingdom come)
By all my sainted Aunt Belize
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 4]
When we're faced with a grind, on exerting the mind
We are filled with a deep sense of dread
How on earth, I hear cries, does one give exercise
To a thing that's embed in your head?
[Verse 5]
What we need is a free-range consultant
Where on earth do you find one of those?
[Verse 6]
By hook, by crook (Byway, bypass)
By sea, by air (By road, by grass)
By seven dwarves (By forty thieves)
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 7]
By shuttlecock (By croquet hoop)
By Panama (By Windsor soup)
By all those cards tucked up his sleeves
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 8]
Our collective IQ of around forty-two
Cannot cope, to be perfectly frank
All true leaders of men delegate now and then
Try to keep their minds totally blank
[Verse 9]
To appreciate loftier matters
Things that mostly go over my head
[Verse 10]
By derby day (By nursery tea)
By moose (By spoons) By half-past 3
By every tender breast that heaves
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 11]
By Marmalade (By bowler hat)
By toothpaste tube (By Burmese cat)
By baby newt (By autumn leaves)
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 12]
Behold how Jeeves, with slight of hand
Conceives a scheme so carefully planned
Even we can't understand
If he takes it terribly slowly
[Verse 13]
By Basingstoke (By cardboard box)
By Budge's knees (By Bassett's socks)
By each, that conjurer deceives
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 14]
By jumping jack (By easier chair)
By Bain Marie (By Camembert)
By every fruit bat in the eaves
By George, by Jove, by Jeeves
[Verse 15]
By walking boot (By thermal drawers)
By canopy's (By Santa Claus)
By all his mighty brain achieves
By every spell the master weaves
[Verse 16]
By heck, by George
By Jove, by Jeeves
By Jeeves, by Jeeves, by Jeeves
By Jeeves
