1
I've been so sad
2
Since you said my accent was bad
3
He's worn a frown
4
This Caledonian clown
5
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
6
To make sure my words
7
On your Saxon ears don't grate
8
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
9
If I flattened all the vowels
10
And threw the 'R' away
11
Some days I stand
12
On your green and pleasant land
13
How dare I show face
14
When my diction is such a disgrace
15
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
16
To make sure my words
17
On your Saxon ears don't grate
18
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
19
If I flattened all the vowels
20
And threw the 'R' away
21
You say that if I want to get ahead
22
The language I use should be left for dead
23
It doesn't please your ear
24
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
25
It seems your still full of John Bull
26
You just refuse to hear
27
Oh what can I do
28
To be understood by you
29
Perhaps for some money
30
I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
31
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
32
To make sure my words
33
On your Saxon ears don't grate
34
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
35
If I flattened all the vowels
36
And threw the 'R' away
37
You say that if I want to get ahead
38
The language I use should be left for dead
39
It doesn't please your ear
40
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
41
I think your still full of John Bull
42
You just refuse to hear
43
He's been so sad
44
Since you said his accent was bad
45
He's worn a frown
46
This Caledonian clown
47
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
48
To make sure my words
49
On your Saxon ears don't grate
50
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
51
If I flattened all the vowels
52
And threw the 'R' away
53
Flattened all the vowels
54
And threw the 'R' away
55
If I flattened all the vowels
56
And threw the 'R' away
