Englishman In New York

  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
