I`m an alien, I`m an alien
I`m an alien, legal alien

I don`t drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done
on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent when I talk
I`m an Englishman in New York

See me walking down
Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here
at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I`m an Englishman in New York

I`m an alien,
I`m a legal alien
I`m an Englishman in New York
I`m an alien,
I`m a legal alien
I`m an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can
lead to notoriety
You could end up
as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are
rare in this society
At night a candle`s
brighter than the sun

If `manners maketh man`
as someone said
Then he`s the hero
of the day
It takes a man to suffer
ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say

I`m an alien,
I`m a legal alien
I`m an alien, legal alien
I`m an alien, legal alien
I`m an Englishman in New York
I`m an Englishman in New York
I`m an Englishman in New York
