| 作词 : Stewart | |
| I sent my majordomo to your amanuensis | |
| To ascertain your feelings, and strip away pretenses | |
| And then a few days later, you sent back your vizier | |
| And though he spoke quite courtesously | |
| His meaning wasn't clear | |
| Not to my majordomo | |
| Not to my majordomo | |
| So I sent my acolyte to further our relations | |
| And he engaged your ministers in lengthy conversations | |
| One or two were willingto discuss the matter frankly | |
| We then received your advocate | |
| Who told me that you thanked me | |
| Also my majordomo | |
| Also my majordomo | |
| I therefore told my counselor to offer my best wishes | |
| And he was greeted cordially with smiles and festive dishes | |
| I further was encouraged by a note in your handwriting | |
| Delivered by your confidant, it seemed you were inviting | |
| My plenipotentiary with great felicitations | |
| To join your chief of protocol in swift negotiations | |
| But something must have happened | |
| A secret door had closed then | |
| The word from my ambassador was you were indisposed | |
| And could not meet my majordomo | |
| There's nothing | |
| I can do now | |
| I sent my majordomo | |
| I sent my majordomo |
