| Others: | Dignified! |
| Timothy: | Dignified! |
| Others: | Dignified! |
| All: | Don't forget that you're a gentleman, No matter what rude people say. If your wrath gets stirred By a vulgar word, Simply turn your head away. Just be calm and cool and dignified, And keep your temper if you can; Please bear in mind, Always remember You're an English gentleman! |
| Slithers: | Though common people, may be, For squabbles feel inclined, Let ev'ry word we say be Most refined. |
