Look at her a prisoner of the gutter [00:00:00]
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 of the English tongue [00:00:10]
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 sir I think you picked a poor example [00:00:23]
Did I [00:00:25]
Hear them down in chelesy 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 [00:00:37]
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]
Gaaarn[00:00:53]
Gaaarn[00:00:54]
I ask you Sir [00:00:56]
What sort of word is that [00:00:57]
It's aoow and gaarn that keep her in her place[00:00:59]
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face[00:01:03]
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak [00:01:07]
This verbal class distinction by now [00:01:10]
Should be antique If you spoke as she does sir [00:01:13]
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 of speaking[00:01:22]
Absolutely classifies him [00:01:23]
The moment he talks he makes some other[00:01:25]
Englishman despise him [00:01:27]
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get [00:01:29]
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 the Irish leave you close to tears [00:01:42]
There even are places where English completely[00:01:46]
Disappears [00:01:49]
In America they haven't used it for years [00:01:51]
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak [00:01:55]
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 made to zed[00:02:03]
The French never care what they do actually [00:02:06]
As long as they pronounce it properly [00:02:07]
Arabians learn arabian[00:02:10]
With the speed of summer lightning [00:02:12]
And Hebrews learn it backwards [00:02:14]
Which is absolutely frightening [00:02:16]
Use proper English you're regarded as a freak [00:02:18]
Why can't the English [00:02:21]
Why can't the English learn to speak [00:02:25]
