I don't drink coffee, I drink beer, my dear,
I eat everything with French fries
And you can hear it in my words when I talk
I'm a Dutchman who went stateside.
See me bicycling when I go to shop
I know where the cheap goods lie
I pay cash, even if that makes the teller stop
I'm a Dutchman who went stateside.
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm a Dutchman who went stateside.
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm a Dutchman who went stateside.
If "brains do make the man" as someone said
I must be the hero of the land
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
And still be firm as to where they stand
I'm an alien…
Honesty, sobriety can lead to notoriety
You might end up as the noted one
Sportsmanship, propriety are rare in this society
And Merkins then suffer from stun
Takes more than competition to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them if you can
A Dutchman will walk but rarely run
If "brains do make the man" as someone said
I must be the hero of the land
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
And still be firm as to where they stand
I'm an alien...
