Lyrics
I am an Englishman; I am an Englishman!
I am an Englishman, I play fair when I can
A midnight feast in the dorm
I am a scallywag, flipping weather, don?t nag
At least the beer?s turned out warm
I am an Englishman; I am an Englishman!
I wear a bowler hat, and whaddya think of that?
I?m something in-a the City
I wear a flat cap, I?ve got a whippet in the back
I married a lass who?s right pretty
I am an Englishman (oh yes); I am an an an Inger-lisher-man!
My name is Robin Hood, top hole, pip-pip, jolly good
I hold the door for the ladies
My name is James Bond, my village has a duck pond
And I?m a little bit scared about rabies
Oh yeah!
I am an Englishman (uh huh); I am an Englishman!
But now
Let?s spare a minute to remember the Welsh, the Scottish and the Irish too?ha ha
(C?mon!) I am an Englishman; I am (oh yeah) an Englishman!
I AM?WOH OH OH OH?AN ENGLISHMAN! OI! OI! OI! (repeat to fade)
