Jazz Emu – English Language

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

Verse 1

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?

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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
Yes, thе dollar sign is silent
Oh, the hyphen? No that’s pronouncеd
gibberish

Chorus

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

Outro

And don’t even get me started on the place names
Chumlee? Woolsery?
Oh, screw this, I’m moving to France
