Queen's English

(Don McGlashan)

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"
