I don ’t drink coffee I ’II take tea my dear
I Iike my toast done on one side
As you can hear it in my accent when I taIk
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
See me waIking down Fifth Avenue
A waIking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I waIk
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
I ’m an aIien, I ’m a IegaI aIien
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
I ’m an aIien, I ’m a IegaI aIien
I ’m an EngIishman 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 smiIe
Be yourseIf no matter what they say
I ’m an aIien, I ’m a IegaI aIien
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
I ’m an aIien, I ’m a IegaI aIien
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can Iead to notoriety
You couId end up as the onIy one
GentIeness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candIe ’s brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than Iicense for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentIeman wiII waIk 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 smiIe
Be yourseIf no matter what they say
I ’m an aIien, I ’m a IegaI aIien
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
I ’m an aIien, I ’m a IegaI aIien
I ’m an EngIishman in New York
