He is an Englishman!
(from HMS Pinafore)
William Gilbert [lyrics], Arthur Sullivan [music], (1878) |

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