A Very European Irishman in #UK!

I do drink coffee but I prefer tea my dear
I like my toast buttered on any side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm a Peculiar Irishman stuck in Old York

See me walking down Shambles Street
A walking stick here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Irishman disabled in Old York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Irishman stuck in Old York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm a Very European Irishman quite luckily stuck in Old York Woe-Ho-Oh-Hum

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

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Irishman in Old York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm a Very European Irishman in Old York

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

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
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say...

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Irishman in Old York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm a Very European Irishman in Old York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Irishman in Old York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
