[Verse 1]
I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown
[Chorus]
I'm just gonna have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words on your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word tae say
If I flattened all the vowels and I threw the "R" away
[Verse 2]
Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace?
[Chorus]
I'm just gonna have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words on your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word tae say
If I flattened all the vowels and I threw the "R" away
[Bridge]
You say that if I wanna get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though ya tell it like a leg-pull
It seems you're still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear
I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown
[Chorus]
I'm just gonna have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words on your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word tae say
If I flattened all the vowels and I threw the "R" away
[Verse 2]
Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace?
[Chorus]
I'm just gonna have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words on your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word tae say
If I flattened all the vowels and I threw the "R" away
[Bridge]
You say that if I wanna get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though ya tell it like a leg-pull
It seems you're still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear
