[Verse 1]
Alpha male alright
Born to lead the fight
Not as daft as you might think
When he's been on the drink

[Verse 2]
He's a handsome boy
Someone's pride and joy
Staring in the dark
A loyal dog about to bark

[Chorus]
So British
Working class
Got a handsome mug
Talks dirty
Looks so pretty
He's an angelic thug

[Verse 3]
Levis, Docs, and Bens
Talks a lot of sense
Says he's not an idiot
He don't sit on the fence

[Verse 4]
Takes it on the chin
No matter when he's been
Thinks he's cool and clandestine
Beneath that perfect skin

[Chorus]
So British
Working class
Got a handsome mug
Talks dirty
Looks so pretty
He's an angelic thug

[Bridge]
That look in his eyes
A consolation prize
What he stops to ask you for
May come as a surprise

[Chorus]
So British
Working class
Got a handsome mug
Talks dirty
Looks so pretty
He's an angelic thug

[Outro]
"Ere! Vada the eek on that!
Lovely allies
Nice bit of rough trade..."
