Songs of a Savoyard

The Englishman

He is an Englishman!
  For he himself has said it,
  And it’s greatly to his credit,
That he is an Englishman!
  For he might have been a Roosian,
  A French, or Turk, or Proosian,
Or perhaps Itali-an!
  But in spite of all temptations,
  To belong to other nations,
He remains an Englishman!
  Hurrah!
For the true born Englishman!
