Lyrics Saint Etienne – Manhattan

I tip to Bengal
Tip to Somal
I tip to Burmese
Tip Kenyanese

I tip Havanian
Abyssinian
Here Alaskan
Here Corsican
See, see them sliding through the sun
See, see them sliding through the sun
Through the sun

Scalper in the lampglow
Scalper on a chair
Fleur de Lis
The rest is connected
Chief of police
The phone’s disconnected

And here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
Here you are

I tip to Bengal
No he tips to Bengal
Tips to Somal
Hey, Hey Nasser

Scalper in the lampglow
Scalper everywhere
Stiff white shirt
And his arms don’t work

Say Fleur de Lis
The rest is connected
Chief of police
The phone’s disconnected

And here you are boy
Here you are

Here you are boy
Here you are

Here you are boy
Here you are

He tips Havanian
Yips Abyssinian
Here Alaskan
Hey Corsican
We tip to Russo

On me all my life
See him sliding through the sun
On me all my life
See him sliding through the sun
