When did you start your tricks, Monsieur?
What do you stand on such high legs for?
Why this length of shredded shank,
You exaltation?
When did you start your tricks, Monsieur?
What do you stand on such high legs for?
Why this length of shredded shank,
You exaltation?
English Song Lyrics - June
This song is good for illustrating the use of when and if:-
Chorus:
When you remember me,
If you remember me,
I hope you see it's not the way
I want it to be.
Or I'd be with you now,
But wherever you go
My love goes with you.
Sweet dreams form a shade,
O'er my lovely infants head.
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams,
By happy silent moony beams.
This song is good for illustrating the use of do and does:-
I (I've) got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat,
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go.
Written in his cell, November 18, 1915, on the eve of his execution
My will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing to divide.
My kind don't need to fuss and moan --
"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone.
This song is good for illustrating the use of shortened forms in informal English.
Sun is shinin' (shining) in the sky
There ain't (isn't a) a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' (raining) ev'rybody's (everybody is) in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey, hey
