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
I'm an Englishman in New York
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
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
