ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK. Sting

Here is one of my favourite songs. How do you like it? Can you complete it?
                       
                        

I don't drink _____________ I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my _____________ when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it ____________ I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an ____________ I'm a legal _____________
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an ____________ I'm a legal _____________
I'm an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the _________________ of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and ________
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an ____________ I'm a legal _____________
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an ____________ I'm a legal _____________
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the _________ one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this __________
At ___________ a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than ________ gear to make a man
Takes more than a _____________ for a gun
Confront your ________, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "Manners maketh man" as ____________ said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ____________ and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an ___________ I'm a legal ______________
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an ___________ I'm a legal ______________
I'm an Englishman in New York

This is a wonderful link with dozens of songs which includes the possibility of adding gaps to fill in and the translation of the lyrics into Spanish. Also, if you click on one of the first words, each one after that will be highlighted as the artist sings it, which makes it so easy to follow!
