Sting - Englishman in New York

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

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

Ooh, I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Ooh, I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners make of 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

Ooh, I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Ooh,I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
