Class Lyrics

    Matron:
    The whole world's gone low-brow. Things 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 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 & Matron:
    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?

    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 & 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 & 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 & Matron:
    Nobody's got no class

    Matron:
    Everybody you watch

    Velma:
    'S got his brains in his crotch

    Matron:
    Holy crap

    Velma:
    Holy crap

    Matron:
    What a shame

    Velma:
    What a shame

    Velma & Matron:
    What became of class?
