Lyrics

[00:20.31] I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
[00:22.31]
[00:24.62] I like my toast done on the side
[00:26.68]
[00:29.24] And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
[00:32.00]
[00:33.06] I'm an Englishman in New York
[00:34.93]
[00:38.56] See me walking down Fifth Avenue
[00:40.37]
[00:43.44] A walking cane here at my side
[00:45.18]
[00:48.06] I take it everywhere I walk
[00:49.68]
[00:51.94] I'm an Englishman in New York
[00:54.18]
[00:56.44] I'm an alien' I'm a legal alien
[01:00.18]
[01:01.12] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:03.00]
[01:06.68] I'm an alien' I'm a legal alien
[01:09.43]
[01:10.50] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:12.62]
[01:16.43] If "manners maketh man" as someone said
[01:18.31]
[01:21.11] Then he's the hero of the day
[01:22.80]
[01:25.68] It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
[01:27.87]
[01:29.31] Be yourself no matter what they say
[01:32.00]
[01:34.06] I'm an alien' I'm a legal alien
[01:37.74]
[01:38.75] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:40.87]
[01:44.37] I'm an alien' I'm a legal alien
[01:47.06]
[01:48.24] I'm an Englishman in New York
[01:50.25]
[01:53.81] Modesty' propriety can lead to notoriety
[01:56.25]
[01:58.12] You could end up as the only one
[02:00.93]
[02:03.43] Gentleness' sobriety are rare in this society
[02:06.06]
[02:07.56] At night a candle's brighter than the sun
[02:09.50]
[02:41.03] Takes more than combat gear to make a man
[02:43.47]
[02:45.40] Takes more than license for a gun
[02:47.35]
[02:50.16] Confront your enemies' avoid them when you can
[02:52.85]
[02:54.41] A gentleman will walk but never run
[02:56.47]
[02:59.97] If "manners maketh man" as someone said
[03:01.85]
[03:04.60] Then he's the hero of the day
[03:06.28]
[03:09.10] It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
[03:11.34]
[03:12.91] Be yourself no matter what they say
[03:15.53]
[03:17.53] Be yourself no matter what they say
[03:20.28]
[03:22.41] Be yourself no matter what they say
[03:24.85]
[03:26.78] Be yourself no matter what they say
[03:29.66]
[03:31.84] Be yourself no matter what they say
[03:34.22]
[03:39.78] I'm an alien' I'm a legal alien
[03:41.28]
[03:41.97] I'm an Englishman in New York
[03:43.29]
[03:45.85] I'm an alien' I'm a legal alien
[03:49.34]
[03:50.34] I'm an Englishman in New York
