Extra Information A later Jackson song, regarding what makes the perfect and most refined gentlemen. Jackson did not compose the tune, instead arranging it from the old English ditty. "The Fine Old English Gentlemen". This was not the first time this song was used in music hall, with Tom Clare, another society entertainer, using it with updated lyrics for the time.
