Throw The 'r' Away Lyrics - Proclaimers

I've been so sad 

Since you said my accent was bad 

He's worn a frown 

This Caledonian clown 

 

I'm just going to 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 to say 

If I flattened all the vowels 

And threw the 'R' away 

 

Some days I stand 

On your green and pleasant land 

How dare I show face 

When my diction is such a disgrace

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

 

I'm just going to 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 to say 

If I flattened all the vowels 

And threw 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 ear 

And though you tell it like a leg-pull 

It seems your still full of John Bull 

You just refuse to hear 

 

Oh what can I do 

To be understood by you 

Perhaps for some money 

I could talk like a bee dripping honey.

I'm just going to 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 to say 

If I flattened all the vowels 

And threw 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 ear 

And though you tell it like a leg-pull 

I think your still full of John Bull 

You just refuse to hear 

 

He's been so sad 

Since you said his accent was bad 

He's worn a frown 

This Caledonian clown 

 

I'm just going to 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 to say 

If I flattened all the vowels 

And threw the 'R' away 

Flattened all the vowels 

And threw the 'R' away 

If I flattened all the vowels 

And threw the 'R' away
