I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear If "Manners maketh man" as someone said

I like my toast done on one side Then he's the hero of the day
And you can tip it in my accent when I talk It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
I'm an Englishman in New York Be yourself no matter what they say

See me walking down Fifth Avenue Takes more than combat gear to make a man
A walking cane here at my side Takes more than a license for a gun
I take it with me everywhere that I walk Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
I'm an Englishman in New York A gentleman will walk but never run

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