山崎まさよし (masayoshi yamazaki) - englishman in newyork lyrics

[verse 1]
i don’t drink coffee, i’ll 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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
whoa
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
whoa
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york

[verse 3]
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
[chorus]
whoa
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
whoa
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york

[bridge]
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

[instrumental bridge]

[verse 4]
takes more than combat gear to make a man
takes more than a license for a gun
confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
a gentleman will walk but never run

[verse 3]
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
be yourself, no matter what they say
be yourself, no matter what they say
[chorus]
whoa
(be yourself, no matter what they say)
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
whoa
(be yourself, no matter what they say)
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york

[outro]
whoa
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
(be yourself, no matter what they say)
whoa
i’m an englishman in new york
whoa
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
(be yourself, no matter what they say)
i’m an englishman in new york
