His Excellency Regrets Noël Coward

Now listen please
I'll tell you confidentially
How ADCs
Are trained in social grace
They must be brave
For daily
They're called upon to save
His Excellency's face

Any explanation
Of the duties of an ADC
Proves the complications
That are rife at Government House
Certain situations
They could never let a lady see
There are strange vibrations
In the life of Government House

Truth is often sacrificed
For reasons of diplomacy
That, of course, you understand
But all the same
It must be grand
To be
So suave
So calm
So dignified
If you knew what all that signified!
