Story behind the song
I got tired of waiting through phone tree voices saying, "Para Espanol . . ." before I could get service. Why can't the people who come to this country learn English any more?
Lyrics
THE TALE OF NO INGLES Here's a little ditty called the Tale of No Ingles Please don't make that face It just means No Ingles It isn't very pretty but it's really taking place So listen very carefully I called on my new neighbor and he told me, "No Ingles" "Senor no Ingles" "Lo siento no Ingles" How can I ask him favors if he tells me, "No Ingles" Con no Ingles aqui? I pulled in for some gas and they told me, "No Ingles" "Senor no Ingles" "Ay que no Ingles" I was ready with the cash but they told me, "No Ingles" "Ay no Ingles aqui" What's become of this great land? I'm used to English, don't you see I'm always glad to shake a strangers hand, but It seems like the stranger is me I went to see my mother and she told me, "No Ingles" "Chicito no Ingles" "Mi hijo no Ingles" My dad, my sis and brother they all told me, "No Ingles" "Con familia no Ingles aqui" If I go to the Union Hall will they tell me, "No Ingles"? Senor no Ingles Ay Caramba, no Ingles! Ok, I've seen it all – they just told me, "No Ingles" There's just no hope for you or me. Copyright 2007 Steve Dockendorf
