Queen's English |
On a West Coast station there was a US Congressman, he was a Guest on a talk show on the |
Subject of language |
And he said |
I’m a great one |
For giving people their due, |
But you have to draw the line somewhere |
And when I look up ahead |
I can only see one world |
And it’s a world without interpreters |
and phrase-books because… |
The Queen’s English was |
Good enough for Jesus Christ |
And it’s good enough for me The Queen’s English was |
Good enough for Jesus Christ |
And it’s good enough for me, |
It’s good enough for me Julius Caesar when he Stepped onto the shore he Didn’t do some rain dance he just |
Said it plain, and he said: |
I came, I saw, and I conquered |
So don’t try to make me Feel like a fool |
I know what I stand for |
And I know what they want |
They just want to feel special |
But they’re wrong, they’re wrong, |
they’re wrong, they’re so wrong because |
The Queen’s English was |
Good enough for Jesus Christ |
And it’s good enough for me The Queen’s English was |
Good enough for Jesus Christ |
And it’s good enough for me, |
It’s good enough for me Some people want to Go back to living in caves they |
Bend over backwards and the |
Thin end of the wedge goes in All you little countries |
All you towers of Babel |
Well you better wake up, and speak up, and |
earn your place on the team |
And if you don’t know |
Please and Thank you |
Well you better learn, you better learn, |
you better learn, you better learn, because |
The Queen’s English was |
Good enough for Jesus Christ |
And it’s good enough for me The Queen’s English was |
Good enough for Jesus Christ |
And it’s good enough for me It’s good enough for me |
