Verse 1
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
Woo-ooh
Chorus
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Woo-ooh
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Verse 2
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 Woo-ooh
Chorus
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Woo-ooh
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Bridge
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

Verse 3
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 Woo-ooh
Chorus
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Woo-ooh
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
