VELMA

Whatever happened to fair dealing?

And pure ethics

And nice manners?

Why is it everyone now os a pain in the ass?

Whatever happened to class?

MAMA MORTON

Class

Whatever happened to, Please, may I?

And, Yes, thank you?

And, How charming?

Now, every son of a bitch is a snake in the grass

Whatever happened to class?

VELMA E MAMA MORTON

Class!

Ah, there ain't no gentlemen

To open up the doors

There ain't no ladies now

There's only pigs and whores

And even kids'll knock ya down

So's they can pass

Nobody's got no class!

VELMA

Whatever happened to old values?

MAMA MORTON

And fine morals?

VELMA

And good breeding?

MAMA MORTON

Now, no one even says oops when they're

Passing their gas

VELMA E MAMA MORTON

Whatever happened to class?

VELMA

Class

VELMA E MAMA MORTON

Ah, there ain't no gentlemen

That's fit for any use

And any girl'd touch your privates

For a deuce

MAMA MORTON

And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA

And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA E MAMA MORTON

Nobody's got no class!

VELMA

All you ready about today is rape and theft

MAMA MORTON

Jesus Christ, ain't there no decency left?

VELMA E MAMA MORTON

Nobody's got no class!

MAMA MORTON

Every Guys is a natch!

VELMA

Every Girl is a twat!

MAMA MORTON

Holy shit!

VELMA

Holy shit!

MAMA MORTON

What a shame

VELMA

What a shame

VELMA E MAMA MORTON

What became of class?
