[Verse 8]
On the [B]ninth, February Nineteen [Abm]thirty- five in [F]Buenos Aires,
A polo match
[Abm]Between a team of leading Argentine
players [F]and the touring British side
[G#m]The British Ambassador said he had
never seen a [F]so cial occasion [G#m]quite like it
Even by the standards of Buenos [F]Aires society,
the gathering at the polo [Dm]ground [F]glittered
The [A#]Rolls [Dm]and the
Daimlas, the hampers [F]from Harrods
The [G#m]clothes, [F#]the diamonds,
[F#m]the crystal, the wines
[F#]The procession [E]of nannies
[A]from England and France
[E]The result of the match,
oh yes! The home [A]team won, [Dm]but-
As the British Ambassador [F#]pointed out
[G#m]That did not reflect badly on
[A#]british [F]hos[A#]emanship
Three of the Argentine players were [A#]educated at Eton

[Verse 9]
You're a [Abm]tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death,
you [F]are shoddy
But you're [Abm]flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in [F]my body
[Abm]Put me down for a li[E]fetime of success
[F#]Give me credit, [Db]I'll find [Fdim]ways of pa[G]ying[Abm]
