I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear
I like my toaster 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 hid at my side
Take it everywhen I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
"Manners make a 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
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh-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 license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in, an Englishman in
I'm an Englishman in New York
