Gm             C            Dm           Dm7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Gm         C                Dm    Dm7
I like my toast done on the side
Gm           C            Dm            Dm7
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

Gm      C      Dm          Dm7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Gm        C       Dm   Dm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
Gm      C      Dm          Dm7
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
Dm           Dm7             A
You could end up as the only one
 A#                        C
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              Dm
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
