I don't take 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 Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as someone said (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 Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety so rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun Take more than combat gear to make a man Take 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 (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) that's good (Be yourself no matter what they say) that's a second, yeah (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 Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in religion And you could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse but If I ever lose my faith in you (in you) There'd be nothing left for me to do (to do) Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seem like game show hosts to me but If I ever lose my faith in you (if I ever lose my faith) There'd be nothing left for me to do (if I ever lose my faith) Lose my faith in you (in you) I could be lost inside their lies without a trace (without a trace) But every time I close my eyes, I see your face I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse (a curse) I never saw no military solution that didn't end up worse If I ever lose my faith in you If I ever lose my faith in you (If I ever lose my faith in you) There'd be nothing left for me to do (There'd be nothing left for me to do) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) In you In you
