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
uh~ I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh~
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 uh~
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh~
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
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say~
