Let's All Go 'Posh!' 1932 Dame Gracie Fields

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 27 Sep 2002

I say! I say!
a great idea has struck me,
and tho' you may think me a silly ass....
I say! I say!
why not us all be 'High brow?'
Why must we be so beastly 'Middle Class?'

Let's all be 'UpperTen'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Let's all be quite 'Park Lane'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Get that 'Oxford Accent,' which means
you talk as tho' your mouth
were full of 'Pork and 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 and Taters,'
Let's all go 'Posh!'

Let's all be 'UpperTen'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Let's all be quite 'Park Lane'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Get that 'Oxford Accent,' which means
you talk as tho' your mouth
were full of 'Pork and 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 and Taters,'
Let's all go 'Posh!'

I say! I say!
let's get the social complex
and do the same as High Society...
I say! I say!
why not be High Falutin?
It's well worth sacrificing shrimps for tea!

Let's all be 'UpperTen'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Let's all be quite 'Park Lane'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Get that 'Oxford Accent,' which means
you talk as tho' your mouth
were full of 'Pork and 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 and Taters,'
Let's all go 'Posh!'

Let's all be 'UpperTen'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Let's all be quite 'Park Lane'ish
Let's all go 'Posh!'
Get that 'Oxford Accent,' which means
you talk as tho' your mouth
were full of 'Pork and 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 and Taters,'
Let's all go 'Posh!'
