English Education in Sri Lanka
Everyday when papers look-I’n, I’m very sad,
They are telling in Sri lanka, English very bad
Is this all a humbug mister, Sometimes very true
So I want to tell and give you exactly what to do
Olden times when we were children, in the village school
Pappa tole muss learn the English, otherwise you a fool
Those days teachers taking trouble, tought the English well
If I do not do the homework, they are playing the hell.
Nowadays have Shramadana, in the sun muss dig
Other times too much torking, classes very big
Principala is absent always, teachers putting part
Boys are taking O/L but only pass in art.
You must tell our Minister, soon to put a rule
Give the English Education nicely in the school
Then the children will improve, learning very well, you see
Getting jobs and easy money happy just like me.
Now I am an English teacher, I can now enjoy
So I am doing better job, than any other boy
I am engaged to a Burgher lady, torking English well
How to twist and do the Cha Cha, she is going to tell.
Pappa putting sarong only, simply village clerk
Now I am putting trousers and walking in the park
So I am telling without English, useless you will be
Like a buffolow in the village, married to a tree
