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

If "manners maketh man" as someone 
said
Continues after the ad
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

D                       A
Modesty propriety, can lead to 
notoriety
Bm7                            F#
You could end up as the only one
G                         A
Gentleness sobriety, are rare in 
this society
A#º                               
At night a candle's brighter than 
    Bm7
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
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
