Speaking the Language by Tanya Mascarenhas Lyrics

I'm not too English
I speak the language
With a flair
Idioms, colloquialisms and slang Alike
With all that don't you call me a pike

The sophistication
The dribs and drabs
On the days where I don't turn up to Ascot
My allies have a cardiac attack

Down at the pub
Those clanging glasses of beer
But when I have nobody to clang with
I clang alone in fear

Quote me some Shakespeare
I'll read through the lines
But I' really reading you
Do you think I'm English?
The pen and the brain goes hand in hand
The multitude of words
I can understand
It's not about the words though
Its withstand
Withstanding the English
Isn't that what I am?

The Diamond Jubilee
I celebrated that
Don't you test me on that
I know all the History
The Kings and Queens of our time
Isn't it so sublime?

I'm not too English
But neither are you
I think we're through
But not until the English speak English With You
