Sting - Englishman in New York
| I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear |
| I like my toast done on the 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 |
| I'm an alien I'm a legal alien |
| I'm an Englishman in New York |
| I'm an alien I'm a legal alien |
| I'm an Englishman in New York |
| If "manners maketh 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 |
| Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety |
| 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 combat gear to make a man |
| Takes more than license for a gun |
| Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can |
| A gentleman will walk but never run |
| If "manners maketh 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 |
