The proclaimers - throw the 'r' away<br><br>I've been so sad<br>Since you said my accent was bad<br>He's worn a frown<br>This caledonian clown<br><br>Some days I stand<br>On your green and pleasant land<br>How dare I show face<br>When my diction is such a disgrace<br><br>I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate<br>To make sure my words<br>On your saxon ears don't grate<br>But I wouldn't know a single word to say<br>If I flattened all the vowels<br>And threw the 'r' away<br><br>You say that if I want to get ahead<br>The language I use should he left for dead<br>It doesn't please your ear<br>And though you tell it like a leg pull<br>I think your still full of john bull<br>You just refuse to hear<br><br>Oh what can I do<br>To be understood by you<br>Perhaps for some money<br>I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
