Let's All Go Posh

Let's All Go Posh - Gracie Fields

I'm going to change me ways now

I'm gonna go proper posh

Listen in:

I say I say a great idea has struck me

And though you might think me a silly a**

I say I say why not us all be 'igh-brow

Why must we be so beastly middle-class

Let's all be upper-tennish

Let's all go posh

Let's all be quite Park-Lane-ish

Let's all go posh

Get the Oxford accent which means

You talk as though your mouth were

Full of pork an' beans

Let's all be Rollsy-Roycey Let's all go posh

Let's include our necks each time we wash

Let us call our mothers "maters "

Let us call our fathers "paters "

Let's cut out fried fish an' taters

Let's all go posh

I say I say let's get the social complex

And do the same as 'igh society

I say I say why not be highfalutin

It's well worth sacrificing shrimps for tea

Let's all be upper-classy

Let's all go posh

Let's all be bored and blase

Let's all go posh

Let's be like the nobs in Park Lane

Look upon your face

As though you were insane

Let's all be so well-offish

Let's all go posh

Send an extra dress shirt to the wash

Let us murmur of the motor

Shudder when we see a bloater

Let's dash out and buy a boater

Let's all go posh

Let's all be deuced crodish

Let's all go posh

Let's all be biabiabia

Let's all go posh

Let us have that public-school air

That seems to grace the sons of Borstal ev'rywhere

Let's call our tea late dinner

Let's all go posh

Talk of cocktails not of lemon squash

Watch your table ettiqwetty

Never talk to Lady Betty

With your mouth full of spaghetti

Let's all go posh
