CLASS



MAMA

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?



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?



VELMA & MAMA

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?



Matron

Now, no one even says "oops" when they're

Passing their gas

Whatever happened to class?



VELMA

Class



VELMA & MAMA

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



VELMA & MAMA

Nobody's got no class!



VELMA

All you read about today is rape and theft



MAMA

Jesus Christ, ain't there no decency left?



VELMA & MAMA

Nobody's got no class



MAMA

Everybody you watch



VELMA

's got his brains in his crotch



MAMA

Holy crap



VELMA

Holy crap



MAMA

What a shame



VELMA

What a shame



VELMA & MAMA
