I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear

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
 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
 I'm an Englishman in New York
[x2]

 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 Englishman in New York
[x2]

 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
[x2]
