Lyrics & Translation

[English]

in it is just a way of showing

agreement. You want someone to agree

with you, say, "I'm right in it." I'm

right. Isn't that true? Am I telling you

to speak like this? I'm not telling you

to speak like this, but I'm pointing out

something that exists if you come to

London. Also, just for your general

interest to know a little bit, just to

even get that idea in your head that

just because somebody doesn't speak

correctly like the textbook, it doesn't

mean that they're just lazy or sloppy.

They still have rules in the way they

speak.
