Englishman In New York

I'm an alien I'm an alien
I'm a alien legal alien
I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the 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
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty propriety
Can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness sobriety are
Rare in this society
At night a candle's
Brighter than the sun
If manners maketh man
As someone said
Then 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
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm a alien legal alien
I'm a alien legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an Englishman in New York
