lyrics

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like the toast done on the side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Im an English man in New York

Oh Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im an Englishman in New York
Oh Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im an Englishman in New York

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

Oh Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im an Englishman in New York
Oh Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im an Englishman in New York

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

Oh Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im an Englishman in New York
Oh Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im an Englishman in New York....
