[00:10.86]Look at her a prisoner of the gutters
[00:13.93]Condemned by every syllable she utters
[00:17.21]By right she should be taken out and hung
[00:20.36]For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue
[00:23.40]Aaoooww
[00:24.52]Aaoooww
[00:25.74]Heavens What a noise
[00:27.53]This is what the British population
[00:30.97]Calls an elementary education
[00:33.93]Oh Counsel I think you picked a poor example
[00:36.85]Did I
[00:38.74]Hear them down in Soho square
[00:40.77]Dropping "h's" everywhere
[00:42.01]Speaking English anyway they like
[00:45.50]You sir did you go to school
[00:47.58]Wadaya tike me for a fool
[00:49.21]No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike
[00:52.58]Hear a Yorkshire man or worse
[00:54.47]Hear a Cornishman converse
[00:56.13]I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
[00:59.76]Chickens cackling in a barn
[01:01.68]Just like this one
[01:02.58]Gaaarn
[01:03.18]Gaaarn
[01:03.87]I ask you Sir what sort of word is that
[01:06.16]It's "aoow" and "gaarn"
[01:08.19]That keep her in her place
[01:10.41]Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
[01:13.66]Why can't the English teach their children
[01:15.98]How to speak
[01:17.27]This verbal class distinction by now
[01:19.56]Should be antique
[01:20.76]If you spoke as she does sir
[01:22.63]Instead of the way you do
[01:24.24]Why you might be selling flowers too
[01:26.60]I beg your pardon
[01:27.87]An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him
[01:31.15]The moment he talks he makes some other
[01:33.23]Englishman despise him
[01:34.80]One common language I'm afraid we'll never get
[01:38.10]Oh why can't the English learn to
[01:41.97]Set a good example to people whose
[01:44.89]English is painful to your ears
[01:47.99]The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears
[01:51.59]There even are places
[01:53.04]Where English completely disappears
[01:56.31]In America they haven't used it for years
[02:00.47]Why can't the English teach their children how to speak
[02:03.52]Norwegians learn Norwegian;
[02:05.16]The Greeks have taught their Greek
[02:07.18]In France every Frenchman knows
[02:09.06]His language fro "A" to "Zed"
[02:10.80]The French never care what they do actually
[02:12.93]As long as they pronounce it properly
[02:16.06]Arabians learn Arabian
[02:17.57]With the speed of summer lightning
[02:19.59]And Hebrews learn it backwards
[02:21.04]Which is absolutely frightening
[02:23.02]But use proper English you're regarded as a freak
[02:26.40]Why can't the English

文本歌词
Why Can't The English - The New Musical Cast
Look at her a prisoner of the gutters
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue
Aaoooww
Aaoooww
Heavens What a noise
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
Gaaarn
Gaaarn
I ask you Sir what sort of word is that
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
