I don't drink coffee - I take tea my dear,
I like my toast done on one side.
As you can hear it in my accent when I talk -
I'm an englishman in New York.

See me walking down Fifth Avenue,
Walking cane here at my side,
Take it everywhere I walk -
I'm an englishman in New York.

Who-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien -
I'm an englishman in New York.
Who-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 a hero of the day.
Takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile -
Be yourself - no matter what they say.

Who-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien -
I'm an englishman in New York.
Who-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.

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 -
He's a hero of the day.
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.
(who-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien -
I'm an englishman in New York.)
Be yourself - no matter what they say.
Be yourself - no matter what they say.
(who-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien -
I'm an englishman in New York.)

Be yourself - no matter what they say.
Be yourself - no matter what they say.
(who-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien -
I'm an englishman in New York.)
Be yourself - no matter what they say.
Be yourself - no matter what they say.
(who-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien -
I'm an englishman in New York.)
