The Queen's English

On a West Coast Station
There was a US congressman,
He was a guest on a talkshow,
On the subject of language,
And he said,

And he said,

"I am a great one,
For giving people their due,
But you have to draw the line some times.
And when I look up ahead,
I can only see one world,
And it's a world without interpreters and phrasebooks, 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."

Julius Ceaser when he
Stepped onto the shore,
He didn't do some raindance, he just
Said it plain he said:
"I came, I saw and I conquered."

So don't try and make me
Fell 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 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.

Some people want to
Go back to living in caves,
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 shape 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 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.
