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
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
Takes more than combat
gear to make a man
Takes more than a 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
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
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
