Throw The r Away
The proclaimers - throw the r away
Ive been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
Hes worn a frown
This caledonian clown
Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace
Im just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your saxon ears dont grate
But I wouldnt 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 doesnt please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg pull
I think your 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.
