[Intro]
C F C Emaj7sus4 (x2)
C F I've been so sad Fm C Since you said my accent was bad C F Fm C He's wearin' a frown This Caledonian clown C F I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate Fm Fm7 Emaj7sus4 C To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate C F But I wouldn't know a single word to say Fm Fm7 Emaj7sus4 C 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
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
C C7 You say that if I want to get ahead F Fm7 The language I use should be left for dead C Emaj7sus4 C It doesn't please your ear C C7 And though you tell it like a leg-pull F Fm7 It seems you're still full of John Bull C Emaj7sus4 C 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 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
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 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 wearin' a frown
This Caledonian clown
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
Flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
