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
