The Proclaimers - Throw The 'R' Away
2
I've been so sad
3
Since you said my accent was bad
4
He's worn a frown
5
This Caledonian clown
6
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
7
To make sure my words
8
On your Saxon ears don't grate
9
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
10
If I flattened all the vowels
11
And threw the 'R' away
12
Some days I stand
13
On your green and pleasant land
14
How dare I show face
15
When my diction is such a disgrace
16
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
17
To make sure my words
18
On your Saxon ears don't grate
19
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
20
If I flattened all the vowels
21
And threw the 'R' away
22
You say that if I want to get ahead
23
The language I use should be left for dead
24
It doesn't please your ear
25
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
26
It seems your still full of John Bull
27
You just refuse to hear
28
Oh what can I do
29
To be understood by you
30
Perhaps for some money
31
I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
32
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
33
To make sure my words
34
On your Saxon ears don't grate
35
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
36
If I flattened all the vowels
37
And threw the 'R' away
38
You say that if I want to get ahead
39
The language I use should be left for dead
40
It doesn't please your ear
41
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
42
I think your still full of John Bull
43
You just refuse to hear
44
He's been so sad
45
Since you said his accent was bad
46
He's worn a frown
47
This Caledonian clown
48
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
49
To make sure my words
50
On your Saxon ears don't grate
51
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
52
If I flattened all the vowels
53
And threw the 'R' away
54
Flattened all the vowels
55
And threw the 'R' away
56
If I flattened all the vowels
57
And threw the 'R' away
