Proclaimers throw the 'r' away lyrics

I'VE BEEN SO SAD

 SINCE YOU SAID MY ACCENT WAS BAD

 HE'S WORN A FROWN

 THIS CALEDONIAN CLOWN

 

 (CHORUS)

 I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN TO HESITATE

 TO MAKE SURE MY WORDS

 ON YOUR YOUR SAXON EARS DON'T GRATE

 BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW A SINGLE WORD TO SAY

 IF I FLATTENED ALL THE VOWELS 

 AND THROW THE 'R' AWAY

 YOU SAY THAT IF I WANT TO GET AHEAD

 THE LANGUAGE I USE SHOULD BE LEFT FOR DEAD

 IT DOESN'T PLEASE YOUR EARS

 AND THOUGH YOU TELL IT LIKE A LEG PULL

 I THINK YOU'RE STILL FULL OF JOHN BULL

 YOU JUST REFUSE TO HEAR

 

 SOME DAYS I STAND

 ON YOUR GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND

 HOW DARE I SHOW FACE

 WHEN MY DICTION IS SUCH A DISGRACE

 

 OH WHAT CAN I DO

 TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY YOU

 PERHAPS FOR SOME MONEY

 I COULD TALK LIKE A BEE DRIPPING HONEY

 

 (CHORUS)
