Isn't It Pedantic

Tune: Richard Rodgers's "Isn't It Romantic?"

Isn't it pedantic?
You and I
Can both distinguish "who" from "whom."

Isn't it pedantic?
We know why
A "mausoleum"'s not a "tomb."

We never drop our "g"'s
Or split infinitives;
Crimes tantamount to these
No man of taste forgives.

Isn't it pedantic?
When we show
Our kith and kin the fork to use,

Isn't it pedantic?
Even though
Our kith and kin may blow a fuse,

We'll always cross our "t"'s
And never, ever call a pair of trousers "pants."
Are we not pe-dants?
