"Englishman in New York" by Sting & ShaggyLyrics:
(Shaggy) Put your hands in the air, one time, I wanna see you rock it up, now. Tiny Desk, now where it at? We gotta rock it one time with the reggae beat. Early morning reggae style. (Sting) I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear. I like my toast done on one side. And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. 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 (Everybody) Oh, 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 Englishman in New York (Shaggy) I wear my colors in my back pocket, I got a big _____ in my hand. And you might notice, There's a swag anytime I walk. I'm a Jamaican in New York. (Everybody) Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm a Jamaican in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm a Jamaican in New York (Everybody) Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun (Sting) 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. (Shaggy) So if you see me walking down the street, A couple ladies by my side. Well you should just know, It's just my swagger & my style, I'm a Jamaican in New York. |
