I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear (tea, my dear)
I'd like my toast done on one side (on one side)

If "manners maketh man" as some might say (someone say)
He's the hero of the day (hero of the day)
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Takes more than combat gear to make a man (make a man)
Takes more than a license to a gun (license to a gun)
Befriend your enemies, confront them when you can
A gentleman must walk, but never run
Whoa, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Be yourself no matter what they say
