Lyrics

[00:20.450] I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
[00:24.420] I like my toast done on one side
[00:28.830] And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
[00:32.840] I'm an Englishman in New York
[00:36.990] See me walking down Fifth Avenue
[00:43.220] A walking cane here at my side
[00:47.930] I take it everywhere I walk
[00:51.700] I'm an Englishman in New York
[00:56.190] I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
[01:00.840] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:06.610] I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
[01:10.140] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:16.280] If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
[01:20.790] Then he's the hero of the day
[01:25.080] It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
[01:28.760] Be yourself no matter what they say
[01:33.810] I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
[01:38.350] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:43.270] I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
[01:47.760] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:52.950] Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
[01:57.640] You could end up as the only one
[02:02.640] Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
[02:07.070] At night a candle's brighter than the sun
[02:40.660] Takes more than combat gear to make a man
[02:45.230] Takes more than a license for a gun
[02:49.640] Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
[02:53.870] A gentleman will walk but never run
[02:57.350] If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
[03:04.490] Then he's the hero of the day
[03:09.180] It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
[03:12.660] Be yourself no matter what they say
[03:25.170] I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
[03:30.230] I'm an Englishman in New York
[03:36.220] I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
[03:40.930] I'm an Englishman in New York
