<b>Class</b> by <i>Chicago</i><br />MATRON (Spoken)

The whole world's gone low-brow. Thing's ain't what

they used to be.

VELMA (Spoken)

They sure ain't, Mama. They sure ain't it's all gone.

(Singing)

Whatever happened to fair dealing?

And pure ethics

And nice manners?

Why is it everyone now os a pain in the ass?

Whatever happened to class?

MATRON

Class.

Whatever happened to, "Please, may I?"

And, "Yes, thank you?"

And, "How charming?"

Now, every son of a bitch is a snake in the grass

Whatever happened to class?

VELMA AND MATRON

Class!

Ah, there ain't no gentlemen

To open up the doors

There ain't no ladies now,

There's only pigs and whores

And even kids'll knock ya down

So's they can pass

Nobody's got no class!

VELMA

Whatever happened to old values?

MATRON

And fine morals?

VELMA

And good breeding?

MATRON

Now, no one even says "oops" when they're

Passing their gas

Whatevcer happened to class?

VELMA

Class

VELMA AND MATRON

Ah, there ain't no gentlemen

That's fit for any use

And any girl'd touch your privates

For a deuce

MATRON

And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA

And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA AND MATRON

Nobody's got no class!

VELMA

All you ready about today is rape and theft

MATRON

Jesus Christ, ain't there no decency left?

VELMA AND MATRON

Nobody's got no class!

MATRON

Everybody you watch

VELMA

'S got his brains in his crotch

MATRON

Holy crap

VELMA

Holy crap

MATRON

What a shame

VELMA

What a shame

VELMA AND MATRON

What became of class?
