I don’t drink coffee I drink 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 eV`rywhere I walk,
I’m an Englishman in New York.
Chorus:
If “manners maketh man” as someone said,
He’s the hero of the day,
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile,
Be your self no matter what they say.
Chorus:
Intro: Modesty, propriety,
Can lead to notoriety,
But you could end up as the only one.
Gentelness, sobriety,
Are 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 your self no matter what they say.
Chorus: *Woah, I’m an alien,
I’m a legal alien,
I’m an Englishman in New York.*
