๐ Lyrics
I've been so sad since you said my accent was bad
He's worn a frown, this Caledonian clown
I'm just gonna 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 I 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?
I'm just gonna 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 I threw the 'R' away
You say that if I wanna 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 you're 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
I'm just gonna 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 I threw the 'R' away
You say that if I wanna 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 you're 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
I'm just gonna 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 I threw the 'R' away
Flattened all the vowels and I threw the 'R' away
If I flattened all the vowels and threw the 'R' away
Thank you
He's worn a frown, this Caledonian clown
I'm just gonna 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 I 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?
I'm just gonna 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 I threw the 'R' away
You say that if I wanna 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 you're 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
I'm just gonna 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 I threw the 'R' away
You say that if I wanna 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 you're 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
I'm just gonna 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 I threw the 'R' away
Flattened all the vowels and I threw the 'R' away
If I flattened all the vowels and threw the 'R' away
Thank you
