I don't drink coffee
I take 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
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
whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
whoa 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
whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
whoa 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
<Interlude>
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
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter

Be yourself no matter

Be yourself no matter
