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

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

If, "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's that hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
