I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear |
|
I like my toast done on the 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 make the 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 |
|
|
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien .... |
|
|
Modesty, propriety can lead to no- -toriety |
|
You could end up as the only one |
|
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society |
|
At night a candle's brighter that the sun |
|
|
Takes more than combat gear to make a man |
|
Takes more than license for a gun |
|
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can |
|
A gentle- -man will walk but never run |
|
|
If "manners make the 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 |
|
|
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien... |
