Lyrics

I've been so sad

Since you said my accent was bad

He's worn a frown

This Caledonian clown

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate

To make sure my words

On your Saxen 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 he left for dead

it doesn't please your ears

And though you tell it like a leg pull

I think your still full of John Bull

You just refuse to bear

Some days I stand

on your green and pleasant land

Now dare I show face

When my diction is such a disgrace

Oh what can I do

To be understood by you

Perhaps for some money

I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
