I don’t drink coffee, I take tea, my dearI like my toast done on one sideAnd you can hear it in my accent when I talkI’m an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth AvenueA walking cane here at my sideI take it everywhere I walkI’m an Englishman in New York
Oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alienI’m an Englishman in New YorkOh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alienI’m an Englishman in New York
If «manners maketh man» as someone saidHe’s the hero of the dayIt takes a man to suffer ignorance and smileBe yourself no matter what they say
Oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alienI’m an Englishman in New YorkOh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alienI’m an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notorietyYou could end up as the only oneGentleness, sobriety are rare in this societyAt night a candle’s brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a manTakes more than a license for a gunConfront your enemies, avoid them when you canA gentleman will walk but never run
