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
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I’m an Englishman in New York
I’m an Englishman in New York
Oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
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 Englishman in New York
Oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle’s brighter than the sun
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
He’s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say (I’m an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I’m an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I’m an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I’m an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
