**Our Fair A-bian** Look at him, a prisoner of the gutters Condemned by every syllable he utters By right he should be taken out and hung For the cold-blooded murder of the Chinese tongue "吼---", heavens! what a sound This is what the Chinese population Calls an elementary education It's '偶' and '素' that keep him in his place Not his lack of honesty and taste If you spoke as he does, sir, instead of the way you do Why you might be a bloody liar too Why can't the Chinese teach their children how to speak? Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek In France every Frenchman knows his language from 'A' to 'Zed' The French don't care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly Use proper Chinese, you're regarded as a freak Oh, why can't the Chinese Why can't the Chinese learn to speak?
