Englishman In New York

Don't drink coffee I take tea my dear

Like my toaster on the 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

Oh I'm an alien

I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York

Oh I'm an alien

I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York

Manners maketh man as someone said

He's the hero of the day

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

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

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

Englishman in, I'm an Englishman in New York
