Lyrics
Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue
Eliza Doolittle: Aaoooww!
Aaoooww!
Heavens! What a sound!
This is what the British population
Calls an elementary education.
Oh,Counsel, I think you picked a poor example.
Did I?
Hear them down in Soho square
Dropping "h's" everywhere
Speaking English anyway they like
You sir, did you go to school?
Wadaya tike me for, a fool?
No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!
Hear a Yorkshire man, or worse, hear a Cornishman converse I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
Chickens, cackling in a barn, just like this one (pointing to Eliza)
Gaaarn
Gaaarn..
I ask you Sir, what sort of word is that? (to Pickering)
It's "aoow" and "gaarn" that keep her in her place
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now
Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir
Instead of the way you do
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
I beg your pardon!
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him
The moment he talks he makes some other
Englishman despise him
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get
Oh, why can't the English learn to
set a good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears
There even are places where English completely
disappears
In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their Greek. In France every Frenchman knows
his language fro "A" to "Zed"
The French never care what they do, actually
as long as they pronounce it properly
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning
And Hebrews learn it backwards
which is absolutely frightening
But use proper English you're regarded as a freak
Why can't the English
Why can't the English learn to speak?
