He checks into his hotel room, he unpacks and folds his trousers

He is neat and he is tidy, likes to have his private bathroom

He will wash and go to dinner, he will have the steak and mushroom

Then he will go back upstairs and read a while in his hotel room

Regular English-speaking gentleman on holiday



He is kind and tips the waiters, neat, polite and always helpful

He will rise and go to breakfast, then he will turn in his roomkey

Spends his day observing, never rash or over-zealous

He will ask how he can get to special points of local interest



He would never dare abuse the hospitality he's given

He can see the people working, he knows he must not disturb them

He knows that their work is needed by the people of their country

He appreciates that silence in the workplace is essential



He will paint a watercolor of the public recreation park

Where the mothers take their children, happy children, pretty children

He has no transistor radio to disturb the pleasant morning

He will not remove his camera when he's near those installations



In the evening you can hear him typing typing typing letters

To his colleagues back in England, green and pleasant home in England

He will type it all correctly, neat and tidy, write politely

He will try to give a picture of his life in far-off countries



Regular English-speaking gentleman on holiday

Regular English-speaking gentleman won't go away
