I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em A Bm
I like my toast done on the side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Em A Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em A Bm
A walking cane here at my side
Em A Bm
I take it everywhere I walk
Em A Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York

Em A Bm
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
Em A Bm
A gentleman will walk but never run
[Verse]
