English Man in New York

Don't drink coffee, I'll take tea, my dear

Like my toast done on one side

You can hear it in my accent when I talk

I'm an English man in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue

Walking cane here at my side

Take it everywhere I walk

I'm an English man in New York

Oh oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an English man in New York

Oh oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an English man in New York

If, manners make of man, as someone said

Then he's a hero of our 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 English man in New York

Oh oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an English man in New York

Modesty for country can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleman sobriety, I'm wearing in this society

And Oxy Cambridge brighter than the shore

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

If, manners make of man, as someone said

Then he's a 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 English man in New York

Oh oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an English man in New York
