Fm             A#            Cm           Cm7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Fm         A#                Cm    Cm7
I like my toast done on the side
Fm           A#            Cm            Cm7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
        Fm        A#       Cm   Cm7

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

I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien

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

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

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Cm           Cm7             G
You could end up as the only one
 G#                        A#
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              Cm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than 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

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
