Stuart Davis - World Learns English lyrics

The children of Wales in formative years Can summon old Celtic with polyglot sneers So kids, what's the translation- I mean how would you say "My useless language is dying away?" Study some numbers and we'll see whose dumb To get into business you only need one Chorus: The world learns English to climb up a wrung If you want to be heard you speak in this tongue The Tower of Babel is now in reverse We're bringing together what God had dispersed It's not really true to say cultures collide Some get erased, some spread out wide Which brings us to you, and your obsolete ways We might use your dead language to coin a cute phrase But the key to your future is learning to blend Comprehende, Katalaves, Verstehen Sie, friend? Chorus
