Written by C. Devonshire & J. Finestone

lyrics

I don’t have a top hat
I’m not in wingtips
Don’t wear no waistcoat
--But I could

No gray fedora
I rarely wear my college tie
Insight into this plight is going to require a little elaboration

I’m not on Tinder
I’m not even on the market
And I know it’s vain but all the same I wouldn’t mind just a little consideration

When did I become
A distinguished gentleman?

Don’t know, maybe it’s this velvet smoking jacket
Can’t you tell what time it is from this vintage watch in my pocket?
Distinguished gentlemen, we’ve got our cross to bear
Rebalancing investments and retouching graying hair

When did I become
A distinguished gentleman?

Just wish I knew in college the things that I know now:
How to make a good gin & tonic and drink it without passing out
Tip well at a restaurant, tie a half windsor knot
How to listen in a conversation, when to hold your tongue and when not

I’m not talking supper clubs, this isn’t Great Gatsby
Taking trips to the south of France or getting chased by paparazzi
We don’t claim to be saints or your salvation
It’s just a touch of sophistication

When did I become
--Pleased to Meet Me bootleg on cassette
A distinguished gentleman?
--Still can’t get Look Sharp! out of my head
When oh when did it happen?
--I guess it’s cuz Joey Ramone is dead

Distinguish this!
