歌曲歌詞
I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's wearing 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
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
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
On your saxon ears don't grate
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
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 going to have to learn to hesitate
