Adam WarRock - Downton lyrics

[Spoken: Earl of Grantham] Perfectly acceptable And if His Grace doesn't like it, he can lump it [Verse 1] I'm in the house, or I'm in your estate Cause I'm back for this inheritance; I just can't wait Mo' money, mo' problems, the Titanic sunk Messed up your entail and the clock began to run Cause I never had a son, just three young ladies Married overseas so her father could pay me To keep my high Yorkshire life, I fell in love with my wife It's kinda nice, and you know, I'd like to stay here Got a butler, housekeepers, footmen and valets Daughters get the benefit of many housemaids And if you ring out of town, then the cook can make a feast And we gather in the library, sip some fresh tea I run the village with the early twentieth century game And everywhere I turn, [?] they knowin' my name I'm the Earl, got you people all hooked on this feature I run this rap game like it's Masterpiece Theatre [Hook] Now, if you're from where I'm from, then you call it Downton In the house like Lord Grantham, that's the damn anthem With a high life in the Abbey we run And we sip Earl Grey when the day is done And if you're from where I'm from, then you call it Downton In the house like Lord Grantham, that's the damn anthem With a high life in the Abbey we run And we sip Earl Grey when the day is done [Verse 2] I got a black heart like Mary, ladies, stay wary Mind like Matt Crawley, eyes bigger than all these Lips sharp like Edith and progressive like Sybil An' I leave 'em like Pamuk if these rappers try to quibble And I don't give a (what?) like the Dowager Countess I don't get the weekend; never sit around the house [?] steady on my grind and work like a serf Cause I'm tryin' to do my thing, stead'ly proving my worth Imma ask Carson to go an' bring me a drink In the meantime, ask him what exactly he thinks About these haters all around me, gossiping snakes Like Mrs. O'Brien and Thomas when they're on a smoke break I got hopes for the future. [?], they raised me Young'uns are still learning the ropes, like Miss Daisy I'm hoping to settle down and find my place But for now, you know we work so we can keep our estate [Hook] Now, if it wasn't for the law, this drama piece prob'ly Never would be going on So tell me, where you from? Downton Abbey Downton Abbey [Spoken: Adam WarRock] Aw, it's stupid
