[Verse 1]
I got a girl in New York City, sho' is pretty, alright
I got a fox in ol' Paree stone crazy 'bout me, alright

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's said my lovin' is good as gold
Stories about me are constantly told
I'm a legend in my own time, aaahhh

[Chorus]
I'm an international
Highly fashionable
Very respectable playboy, ooh yeah

[Verse 2]
I got a girl in New Orleans
Sho' know how to cook good collard greens
I got a chick over in Rome
Lord knows she won't leave me alone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
My name is known in old Hong Kong
I'm just as famous as egg foo young
I'm a legend in my own time, aaahhh

[Chorus]
I'm an international
Highly fashionable
Very respectable playboy, oh, hunh
