rate me

I don't take coffee I take tea my dear<br>I like my toast done on one side<br>And you can hear it in my accent when I talk<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br><br>See me walking down fifth avenue<br>A walking cane here at my side<br>I take it everywhere I walk<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br><br>I'm an alien I'm a legal alien<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br>I'm an alien I'm a legal alien<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br><br>If, manners maketh man as someone said<br>Then he's the hero of the day<br>It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile<br>Be yourself no matter what they say<br><br>I'm an alien I'm a legal alien<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br>I'm an alien I'm a legal alien<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br><br>Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety<br>You could end up as the only one<br>Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society<br>At night a candle's brighter than the sun<br><br>Takes more than combat gear to make a man<br>Takes more than a license for a gun<br>Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can<br>A gentleman will walk but never run<br><br>If, manners maketh man as someone said<br>Then he's the hero of the day<br>It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile<br>Be yourself no matter what they say<br><br>I'm an alien I'm a legal alien<br>I'm an englishman in new york<br>I'm an alien I'm a legal alien<br>I'm an englishman in new york
