Lyrics
I don't drink coffee, I'll 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 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 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 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 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 I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien (Be yourself, no matter what they say) I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien (Be yourself, no matter what they say) I'm an Englishman in New York
