Happy To Make Your Aquaintance - Sammy Davis, Jr., Carmen McRae

When you meet somebody for the first time

There are special things you’re supposed to say

Which you may not mean but they sound polite as can be

Would you like to learn them?

Well then, repeat after me

Happy to make your acquaintance

'Appy to make your acquaintance

Thank you so much, I feel fine

T’ank you so much, omma feel fine

Happy to make your acquaintance

Acquaintance and let me say the pleasure

Da pleasure is mine, da pleasure’s a mine

How do you do?

Pleased to know you

'Ow do you do?

Pleased to know you

And though my English is poor

My English is a goddamn poor

Happy to make your acquaintances

Now won’t you please say, likewise

Look a wise, no likewise

Like a ways, no likewise

Oh, like a wise, I’m sure
