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.

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.

Refrein:

Who ooh,

I'm an alien,

I'm a legal alien,

I'm an Englishman in New York.

Who ooh,

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

Who ooh,

I'm an alien

I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Who ooh,

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 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

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say (Herhaal tot einde)

REFREIN (herhaal en fade out)
