I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna make it, oh
Gonna get it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it, oh
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
Whoa oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Every day I wake up here's a win
'Cause I got here on a dream
I still hear my mother praying everyday
I'm an African in New York, uh huh
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
Oh oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Whoa, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh oh, I'm an alien (oh)
I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Whoa oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna make it, oh
I'm gonna get it (be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm gonna make it (be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm gonna make it, oh
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
