Pardon My English
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you said goodbye,
did I sit an' cry?
Wanna go an' die?
Oh! No Siree!
Made another wish
get another fish!
Lot's of pretty fish
are in the sea!
You think that you're my one and only
Pardon my English,
I ain't lonely!
Ain't about to brood
in a happy mood!
Even sat and booed
your photographs!
Ain't a total wreck
you can double check!
Stickin' out your neck
is for giraffes!
So, if some night you want me baby
I'll meet you face to face,
you can name the place!
I'll be in the pink
I'll buy the drink!
After one or two
I'll tell you why we're through!
Absolutely through
I think!
You think that you're my one an' only
Pardon my English,
I ain't lonely!
Ain't about to brood
dream a happy mood!
Even sat and booed
your photographs!
Ain't a total wreck
you can double check!
Stickin' out your neck
is for giraffes!
So, if some night you want me baby
Meet you face to face,
you can name the place!
I'll be in the pink
I'll buy the drink!
After one or two
I'll tell you that I'm through!
Absolutely through
I think!
