"Cool?"

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?
"Yeah like I'm all ears"
Well then, repeat after me

Happy to make your acquaintance.
"Oh thats the squarest thing I've heard in six months"
Thank you so much, I feel fine.
"You mean you're feeling groovy Carmen"
Happy to make your acquaintance
"Acquaintance"
And let me say the pleasure is mine
"You mean you dig making the scene"

How do you do? Pleased to know you.
"Ah that sounds too square baby"
And though my English is poor
"You sound like one of them Rock 'n' Roll cats"
Happy to make your acquaintance
Now won't you please say, likewise.
"You mean like I'm hip"
No. Likewise.
"You mean like I dig what your saying"
No. Likewise.
"Oh, likewise."
I'm sure.

"Well if that's the kind of square cat you want to keep company with you. I'll come on that way if you insist"

Happy to make your acquaintance.
"Oh thats beautiful Sam, beautiful"
Thank you so much, I feel fine.
"That's the way to pronounce it, exactly the way"
Happy to make your acquaintance
And let me say the pleasure is mine
"Such eloquence, beautiful""

How do you do? Pleased to know you.
"Am I too much
"Oh too much""
And though my English is poor
"Not poor by any means. Rich, rich"
Happy to make your acquaintance
"Ah ah ah"
Now won't you please say, likewise.
"Oh your roaring Sam"
oh no. Likewise.
"Oh that's a gas Sammy"
"It's rubbed off"
No. Likewise.
I'm sure.
