I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
As you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down 5th Avenue
Walking cane here at my side
Take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh oh I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh oh I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If manner's make of man as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Oh oh I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh oh 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 rare in this society
At night a candle's brigther 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 manner's make of man as someone say
He's the hero of the day
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 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 what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
