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
