Lyrics

[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 are 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
[Verse 9]
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)
[Verse 10]
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)
