I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast
done on one 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
Woh oh
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Woh oh
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
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
Woh oh
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Woh oh
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
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
Woh oh
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Woh oh
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
