Sometimes I wish I were English ( To an English girl)

Sometimes I wish I were English


Sometimes I wish a world could read me,
Jennifer would smile drinking her Martini,
Harlem mobs could recite me having a joint,
Bush is true, I could make a point.

Sometimes I wish Brando didn’t need a translation,
I could be the grand poet of a grand nation,
Billions could have me on their shelf.
I wish I could finally be myself.
