The gentleman laid down his coat to cover the moat,
so the fair lady would not get any part of her feet wet.
He was a polite and proper young man,
He would open a door with a eager hand.
Unnoticed by the crude crowd of today,
He was a decent sort of soul of yesterday.
An example of courtesy and care,
One you just do not find anywhere.
Where did he learn to be such a man,
One with similar kindness I suppose.
Set an example for your sons dear fathers,
and decency and honor to them expose.
Like father, Like son.
