Lyrics

In high school I was such a brat
I talked with an accent I didn't have
I borrowed from this and I borrowed from that
To make my affected accent
His affected accent

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and I talked through my hat
I said 'recline' when I should have said 'sat'
My affected accent
His affected accent

Such a brat, such a brat
Used big words and talked through my hat
I said 'the aforementioned' when I should have said 'that'
My affected accent
His affected accent

I droned like William F Buckley does
I should have been bullied more than I was
With my affected accent

I had a thing for professorial rolling Os
I talked about things that I didn't know
With my affected accent

All right

Forty years later I apologize for
My affected accent
Forty years later he apologizes for
His affected accent

Lyrics

In high school I was such a brat
I talked with an accent I didn't really have
I complained about this and complained about that
In my affected accent
His affected accent

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and I talked through my hat
[???]
[[Sounds like he is trying to sort out the rhythm with Tommy]]

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and I talked through my hat
I said 'recline' when I should have said 'sat'
With my affected accent
His affected accent

I droned like William F Buckley does
I should have been bullied more than I was
With my affected accent

I had a fake professorial rolling O
I talked about subjects I didn't know
With my affected accent
His affected accent

Well all right

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and I talked through my hat
I said 'the aforementioned' when I should have said 'that'
In my affected accent
His affected accent

Forty years later I apologize for
My affected accent
Yeah forty years later he apologizes for
His affected accent
Yeah, big shit
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Lyrics

Well
In high school I was such a brat
I talked with an accent I didn't even really have
I borrowed big words from the TV set to make
My affected accent
His affected accent

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and talked through my hat
I said 'recline' when I should have said 'sat'
In my affected accent
His affected accent

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and talked through my hat
I said 'the aforementioned' when I should I guess have said 'that'
In my affected accent
His affected accent

I had s fake professorial rolling O
I talked about things that I didn't know
In my affected accent

I droned like William F Buckley does
I should have been bullied more than I was
With my affected accent
His affected accent

Forty years later I apologize for
My affected accent

Forty years later he apologizes for
His affected accent

[I'm sorry
It was obnoxious
I apologize]

Lyrics

Now in high school I was such a brat
I talked with an accent I didn't really have
And I borrowed other accents from the tv set
To concoct my affected accent
Yeah, his affected accent

Well, yeah

I was a big old William F Buckley fan
He accented comments fit into my plan
For my affected accent

I had a fake professorial rolling O
I need more height and weight to go with
My affected accent
His affected accent
Yeah

I must admit it

If fact I droned like William F. Buckley does
???
I should have been bullied more than I was
Affected accent

Guitar

[Don't just stand there, pick up the beat
Hey, that's good
Hey that's what the ??? is all about
??? More like a party than one of those concerts
Yeah, so much better]

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and I talked through my hat
I said 'feline' when I should have said 'cat'
My affected accent
His affected accent

Such a brat, to a tee
I said 'concur' when I should have said 'agree'
I said 'ascertain' when I should have said 'see'
My affected accent
Yeah

Guitar

Such a brat, such a brat
I used big words and I talked through my hat
I said 'the aforementioned' when I should have said 'that'
My affected accent
His affected accent

All right

Forty years later I apologize for
My affected accent
I'm sorry about that
