lyrics

PROUD OF IT

I don’t talk like that
No no
And I ain't afraid
To let my accent slip
I'm a northern boy
And I'm proud to say
Most people find it hard
Understanding

And I ain't that shy
Just a normal guy
Kind of common man
With my head held high

Stiff upper lip
Well pardon me
If I don’t back down
If I don’t fit
In your crowd
Then who gives a dam?
I got my roots
My dignity
And my self-respect
So what you see
Is what you get
And I’m proud of that

I never wear a tie
Or a smart pressed suit
Take me for what I am
Oh yes I’m proud of it
An ordinary dude
With strict principles
A little touch of slang
That no one understands

I take off my hat
Hold my head up high
Dress the way I want
Not like some city boy
I’m a man of means
Casual in jeans
Never break a sweat
As simple as that

Stiff upper lip
Well pardon me
If I don’t back down
If I don’t fit
In your crowd
Then who gives a dam?
I got my roots
My dignity
And my self-respect
So what you see
Is what you get
And I’m proud of that

I take off my hat
There’s no shame in that
Every inch you see
Comes with what you get
Every pound of flesh
Every spoken word
Any hidden doubts
As simple as that

I don’t talk like that
No no
I don’t talk like that
No no no

Stiff upper lip
Well pardon me
If I don’t back down

I don’t talk like that
No no
I don’t talk like that
No no
