English Language (English Language)
We’ve all had enough of you making it
Tough for us all to pronounce you
(how to pronounce you)
You need to pick a frickin’ lane
With the sounds you’re making
Like ‘ough’ it’s said how it’s spelt
Oogh? Psych!
It’s oh, ow, oo, or, off, uff, uck or up
What the fuck is up with that?
(I'm so confused)
English lan-gua-gey (English lan-gua-gey)
We’ve all had enoo of you making it
Too for us to pro no-un-kay (pro no-un-kay)
It feels like you’re just taking the P
Out of pterodactyl to fuck with us
Let’s talk about queue
That sounds already the first letter so
What’s with the extra ‘ueue’? (q-way-u-way)
Are we just adding any old shit
To the endings of words now?
In that case I’ll have the fish and chips
And a packet of prawn cocktail crisps
Yеs, the dollar sign is silent
Oh, the hyphеn? No
That’s pronounced gibberish
English Lan-jua-jey (English Lan-jua-jey)
We’ve all had e now of you making
It tou for us to pro-shin-u la-sey
(pro-shin-u la-sey)
Why is the plural of mouse mice
But we can’t live in semi-detached hice?
If you keep on laughing at me
You’re gonna drive me to commit manslaughter
And don’t even get me started
On the place names
Cholmondeley? Happisburgh? Woolfardisworthy?
Oh, screw this, I’m moving to France
Oh sweet Jesus
We’ve all had enough of you making it
Tough for us all to pronounce you
(how to pronounce you)
You need to pick a frickin’ lane
With the sounds you’re making
Like ‘ough’ it’s said how it’s spelt
Oogh? Psych!
It’s oh, ow, oo, or, off, uff, uck or up
What the fuck is up with that?
(I'm so confused)
