Look at her [00:00:00]

A prisoner of the gutter [00:00:01]

Condemned by every syllable she utters[00:00:03]

By right she should be taken out and hung [00:00:07]

For the cold blooded murder[00:00:10]

Of the English tongue [00:00:11]

Aaoooww [00:00:13]

Aaoooww [00:00:14]

Heavens What a sound [00:00:15]

This is what the British population [00:00:17]

Calls an elementary education [00:00:20]

Oh Counsel [00:00:22]

I think you picked a poor example [00:00:23]

Did I [00:00:25]

Hear them down in Soho square [00:00:27]

Dropping he's everywhere [00:00:29]

Speaking English anyway they like [00:00:31]

You sir did you go to school [00:00:34]

Wadaya tike me for a fool [00:00:36]

No one taught him take instead of tike [00:00:38]

Hear a Yorkshire man or worse [00:00:42]

Hear a Cornishman converse [00:00:44]

I'd rather hear a choir singing flat [00:00:46]

Chickens cackling in a barn [00:00:49]

Just like this one[00:00:52]

I ask you Sir [00:00:56]

What sort of word is that[00:00:57]

It's aoow and gaarn[00:00:59]

That keep her in her place[00:01:01]

Not her wretched clothes and dirty face[00:01:03]

Why can't the English teach[00:01:07]

Their children how to speak [00:01:09]

This verbal class distinction by now [00:01:10]

Should be antique [00:01:13]

If you spoke as she does sir [00:01:14]

Instead of the way you do [00:01:16]

Why you might be selling flowers too [00:01:18]

I beg your pardon [00:01:20]

An Englishman's way[00:01:22]

Of speaking absolutely classifies him [00:01:22]

The moment he talks he makes some other[00:01:26]

Englishman despise him [00:01:27]

One common language[00:01:29]

I'm afraid we'll never get [00:01:31]

Oh why can't the English learn to[00:01:32]

Set a good example to people whose[00:01:37]

English is painful to your ears [00:01:39]

The Scotch and[00:01:42]

The Irish leave you close to tears [00:01:43]

There even are places[00:01:46]

Where English completely[00:01:47]

Disappears [00:01:49]

In America they haven't used it for years [00:01:51]

Why can't the English teach[00:01:55]

Their children how to speak [00:01:56]

Norwegians learn Norwegian;[00:01:58]

The Greeks have taught their Greek [00:02:00]

In France every Frenchman knows[00:02:01]

His language for A to Zed[00:02:03]

The French never care what they do [00:02:06]

Actually [00:02:07]

As long as they pronounce it properly [00:02:07]

Arabians learn Arabian with[00:02:10]

The speed of summer lightning [00:02:12]

And Hebrews learn it backwards [00:02:14]

Which is absolutely frightening [00:02:15]

But use proper English[00:02:18]

You're regarded as a freak [00:02:19]

Why can't the English [00:02:21]

Why can't the English learn to speak [00:02:25]
