The Proclaimers - Throw the 'R' Away from their first album "This is the Story" By Doom Drew Capo 4 [Intro] E A E B7 (x2)
EI've been so Asad Since Amyou said my accent was Ebad EHe's wearin' a fArown This CAmaledonian cElown
I'm Ejust going to have to learn to Ahesitate To Ammake sure my Am7words On your B7Saxon ears don't Egrate But EI wouldn't know a single Aword to say If I Amflattened all the Am7vowels And B7threw the 'R' aEway
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
EYou say that if E7I want to get ahead AThe language I Am7use should be left for dead EIt doesn't B7please your Eear B7 EAnd though you E7tell it like a leg-pull AIt seems you're Am7still full of John Bull EYou just B7refuse to Ehear B7
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 you're still full of John Bull You just refuse to hear He's been so sad Since you said his accent was bad He's wearin' 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
