Whatever happened to class?
The latest bout of match fixing in IPL reminds me of this great number from the musical Chicago
The whole world’s gone low-brow. Thing’s ain’t what
they used to be.They sure ain’t, Mama. They sure ain’t it’s all gone.
Whatever happened to fair dealing?
And pure ethics
And nice manners?
Why is it everyone now os a pain in the ass?
Whatever happened to class?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?Class!
Ah, 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!Whatever happened to old values?
And fine morals?
And good breeding?
Now, no one even says “oops” when they’re
Passing their gas
Whatever happened to class?Class
Ah, there ain’t no gentlemen
That’s fit for any use
And any girl’d touch your privates
For a deuceAnd even kids’ll kick your shins and give you sass
And even kids’ll kick your shins and give you sass
Nobody’s got no class!
All you read about today is rape and theft
Jesus Christ, ain’t there no decency left?
Nobody’s got no class!
Every guy is a snot!
Every girl is a twat!
Holy shit
Holy shit
What a shame
What a shame
What became of class?
