An unusual request, I know, but can anyone help me decipher a few
lyrics in her song "Let's All Go Posh"? I've tried for ages
unsuccessfully!

Thanks.

Hi there I have the solution to your question

Gracie Fields Let's all go posh recorded on the 25th October 1932

Let's All Go Posh

I'm going to change me ways now,
I'm going to go proper posh listen in...
I say, I say a great idea has struck me
and though you might think me a silly ass

I say, I say why not us all be eyebrowed
Why must we be so beastly middle class

Let's all be upper-demish
Let's all go posh
Let's all be quite Park Lanish
Let's all go posh
Churchill Oxford accent which mains
You talk as though your mouth were full of pork and wanes

Let's all be royally royalty
Let's all go posh
Let's include our message down we wash
Let us call our mothers makers
Let us call our fathers faters
Let's cut out right fish and potatoes
Let all go posh

I say, I say let's get the social complex
And do the same as Isis Diegene
I say, I say why not be high fluetent
It's well worth sacrificing shrimps for tea

Let's all be upper-classy
Let's all go posh
Let's all be bored and blasé
Let's all go posh
Let's be like the knobs in Park Lane
The upon your faces though you were in pain

Lets all be so well-offish
Let's all go posh
Send an extra dress shirt to the wash
Let us murmur of the motor
Sudder if we see a bloater
Let's dash out and buy a boater
Let's all go posh
Dada dada ...

Let's all be duty crallish
Let's all go posh
Let's all be fear davarish ha ha
Let's all go posh ha haha
Let's us have that public schooler,that seems to grace the sons a force to everywhereeee

Let's call our tailit dinner
Let's all go posh
Talk of cocktails, not a blemmin squash
Watch your table etiquettey,
Never talk to Lady Bettie
With your mouth full of spaghetti
Let's all go posh

(Spoken): alright take a lesson from this and see if you can further yourselves all of ye.
