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 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
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 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
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
I'm an Englishman
in New York
I'm an alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
