 I don't drink coffee  I 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
 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
  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
 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
