She said “I came here in the fall”

I said “You mean can you postpone/”

Oh what a case of miscommunication
But I guess we’re much the same under the skin
We’re only trying to have an Anglo-American conversation

I said “I just heard the postman?”
She said “Do you mean the mailman?”
I said “My neighbour is a con man”
She said “You mean he’s on the grift?”

She said “Is there an elevator?”

I said “What’s in your handbag?”
She said “Do you mean my purse?”
She said “Are you two an item?”
I said “You mean are we a couple?”
She said “Put your hands on my ass”
I said “Do you mean your arse?”

Oh what a case of miscommunication
But I guess we’re much the same under the skin
We keep on trying to have an Anglo-American conversation
But the man from Uncle Sam keeps listening in

Oh what a case of miscommunication
But I guess we’re much the same under the skin
We both use an American cloud to store our information
But the man says he’s allowed to keep peeping in
