[Intro]

I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna make it, New York
I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it, New York

[Verse 1]

I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
But you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
You see me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

[Chorus]

Woah, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Woah, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

[Verse 2]

Every day I wake up here's a win
'Cause I got here on a dream
I still hear my mother praying every day
I'm an African in New York
You dey see am for my pride and energy
When I dey waka down the street
You can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an African in New York

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Woah, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Woah, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

[Outro]

I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna make it, New York
Be yourself, no matter what they say 
(I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna make it)
Be yourself, no matter what they say 
(I'm gonna make it, New York)
Be yourself, no matter what they say

 If, manners maketh man as someone said
 Then he's the hero of the day
 It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
 Be yourself no matter what they say

 Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
 Bm            Bm7             F# 
 You could end up as the only one
 G                          A 
 Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
      F#                                Bm 
 At night a candle's brighter than the sun


 Takes more than combat gear to make a man
 Takes more than a license for a gun
 Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
 A gentleman will walk but never run


 If, manners maketh man as someone said
 Then he's the hero of the day
 It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
 Be yourself no matter what they say

 Refrain
