I've been so sad Since you said my accent was bad He's worn a frown This Caledonian clown
Chorus: I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate But I wouldn't know a single word to say If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
Some days I stand On your green and pleasant land How dare I show face When my diction is such a disgrace
Chorus:
You say that if I want to get ahead The language I use should be left for dead It doesn't please your ear And though you tell it like a leg-pull It seems your still full of John Bull You just refuse to hear
Oh what can I do To be understood by you Perhaps for some money I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
Chorus:
You say that if I want to get ahead The language I use should be left for dead It doesn't please your ear And though you tell it like a leg-pull I think your still full of John Bull You just refuse to hear
He's been so sad Since you said his accent was bad He's worn a frown This Caledonian clown
Chorus:
Flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' awayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
