Englishman In New York - Reggae Version / Recorded At Spotfiy Studios NYC

Don't take coffee, I 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

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

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

If manners maketh man, as someone said

He's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself, no matter what they say

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety, so rare in this society

At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Whoa (whoa)

Whoa (whoa)

Whoa (whoa)

Whoa (whoa)

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

If manners maketh man, as someone said

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

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

Whoa (whoa)

Yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah)

Whoa (whoa)

Yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah)

Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)

Yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah)

I'm an Englishman in New York
