I don’t drink coffee, I take tea, my dear

I like my toast done on one side

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

Take it everywhere I walk...

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

 

Whoa-oh, I’m an alien

I’m a legal alien

I’m an Englishman in New York

 

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

 

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

 

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...

 

(break)

 

Takes more than combat boots 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

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

 

Whoa-oh, I’m an alien (Be yourself no matter what they say)

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)
