I don’t drink co ffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast do ne one side
And you can hear it in my a ccent when I talk
I’m an E ngli shman in New York

See me wa lking down Fifth A ve nue
A wa lking cane here at my side
I take it e ve rywhere I walk
I’m an E ngli shman in New York

Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York
Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York

If "ma nners ma keth man" as some one said
Then he’s the he ro of the day
It takes a man to su ffer i gno rance and smile
Be you rself no ma tter what they say

Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York
Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York

Mo de sty, pro prie ty can lead to no to rie ty
You could end up as the o nly one
Ge ntle ness, so brie ty are rare in this so cie ty
At night a ca ndle’s bri ghter than the sun

Takes more than co mbat gear to make a man
Takes more than li cense for a gun
Co nfront your e ne mies, a void them when you can
A ge ntle man will walk but ne ver run

If "ma nners ma keth man" as some one said
Then he’s the he ro of the day
It takes a man to su ffer i gno rance and smile
Be you rself no ma tter what they say

Be you rself no ma tter what they say
Be you rself no ma tter what they say

Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York
Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York

Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York
Oh -oh! I’m an a li en I’m a le gal a li en
I’m an E ngli shman in New York
