Throw The 'r' Away
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


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
