i don't drink coffee
i take tea my dear
i like my toast done on one side
and you can hear it in
my accent when i talk
i'm an englishman in new york
you see me walking down fifth avenue
a walking cane here at my side
i take it everywhere i walk
i'm an englishman in new york
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
if manners maketh 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
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
modesty propriety can
lead to notoriety
but you could end up as the only one
gentleness sobriety are
so 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 a license for a gun
confront your enemies
avoid them when you can
a gentleman will walk but never run
if manners maketh 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
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say
