I've been so sad Since you said my accent was bad He's worn a frown This Caledonia 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 'are' 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.
