Class lyrics

MATRON(Spoken)
The whole world`s gone low-brow. Thing`s ain`t what
they used to be.

VELMA(Spoken)
They sure ain`t, Mama. They sure ain`t.

(Singing)
Whatever happened to fair dealing
And pure ethics
And nice manners?
Why is it everyone now is a pain in the ASS?
Whatever happened to class?

MATRON
Class.
Whatever happened to, `Please, may I?`
And, `Yes, thank you?`
And, `How charming?`
Now, every son of a bitch is a snake in the GRASS!
Whatever happened to class?

VELMA AND MATRON
Class!
Oh, there ain`t no gentlemen
To open up the doors
There ain`t no ladies now,
There`s only pigs.. and whores
And even kids`ll knock ya down
So`s they can pass
Nobody`s got no class!

VELMA
Whatever happened to old values?

MATRON
And fine morals?

VELMA
And good breeding?

MATRON
Now, no one even says `oops` when they`re
Passing their gas
Whatever happened to class?

VELMA
Class

VELMA AND MATRON
Ah, there ain`t no gentlemen
That`s fit for any use
And any girl`d touch your privates
For a deuce

MATRON
And even kids`ll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA
And even kids`ll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA AND MATRON
Nobody`s got no class!

VELMA
All you read about today is rape and theft!

MATRON
Jesus Christ, ain`t there no decency left?

VELMA AND MATRON
Nobody`s got no class!

MATRON
Every guy is a snot!

VELMA
Every girl is a twat!

MATRON
Holy shit

VELMA
Holy shit

MATRON
What a shame

VELMA
What a shame

VELMA AND MATRON
What became of class?
