Queen's English (The Mutton Birds)

(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"
