Sting - Englishman African In New York Ft Shirazee Lyrics

[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
