Separated by an ocean
We live on different shores
We share a common language
are you sure? I’m not so sure
On subjects purely factual
we have great communication
but when it comes to British humour
There is a failure in translation

When talking to an Aussie
If I kick his sacred cow
He will see that I am joking
Hear him laugh, watch him howl
but on topics of religion
You get quite irate
If I name your god as an Imaginary friend
The humour fails to translate

If my words upset you
It was not my intention to offend
But please just let me know just what I said
I may wish to offend you again
Now that was me just joking
I think you Americans are just great
You cant help being the way you are
It's just my humour that won't translate
