Letra
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You 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
[Verse 3]
Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Verse 4]
If manners maketh man, as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
[Verse 5]
Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Verse 6]
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety, so rare in this society
At night, a candle's brighter than the sun
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
If manners maketh man, as someone said
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
(Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Whoa, oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(I'm an Englishman in New York)
