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
If manners make the 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
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

Takes more than combat gear
to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If manners make the 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 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
I`m an alien I`m a legal alien
