Mama
The whole world´s gone low-brow. Thing´s ain´t what
they used to be.
VELMA
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?
Mama
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?
[Together]
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!
VELMA
Whatever happened to old values?
Mama
And fine morals?
VELMA
And good breeding?
Mama
Now, no one even says "oops" when they´re
Passing their gas
Whatevcer happened to class?
VELMA
Class
[together}
Ah, there ain´t no gentlemen
That´s fit for any use
And any girl´d touch your privates
For a deuce
Mama
And even kids´ll kick your shins and give you sass
VELMA
And even kids´ll kick your shins and give you sass
[Together]
Nobody´s got no class!
VELMA
All you read about today is rape and theft
Mama
Jesus Christ, ain´t there no decency left?
[Together]
Nobody´s got no class!
Mama
Every guy is a snot!
VELMA
Every girl is a twat!
Mama
Holy shit
VELMA
Holy shit
Mama
What a shame
VELMA
What a shame
[Together]
