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 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 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 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 Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than 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 Then he s the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say 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 |
