I went down to The Ballroom
She was dancing with her new fool
She said Paul, this is Henry
Well I never know what to say when I meet 'em
I was taken to a party
I was accused of being deliberately downhearted
She said Paul, why so gloomy?
Well I never know what to say when I meet 'em
Your wine tastes fine
Your friends are talking to me
I'd like to hide
Guess I'm all tongue-tied
Henry's gonna meet the family
They're gonna have him over for roast lamb next Sunday
Well good luck and I'm glad its you
'Cause I never know what to say when I meet 'em
I was going home on Fitzroy
She was walking with her new boy
She said Paul, this is Tommy
Well I never know what to say when I meet 'em
