I don't drink coffee I take tea, my dear. Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety,
I like my toast done on one side. But you could end up as the only one.
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society.
I'm an Englishman in New York. At night a candle's brighter than the sun.

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 everywhere 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. If, “manners maketh man" as someone said,
I'm an Englishman in New York. Then he's the hero of the day.
I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien. It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
I'm an Englishman in New York. Be yourself no matter what they say. (x10)
