Lyrics
I don’t drink cof fee; I take tea, my dear.
I like my toast done on one side.
And you can hear it in my ac cent when I talk: I’m an (Em)Eng lish man (A)in New York.
You see me walk ing down Fifth Av e nue,
a walk ing cane here at my (Bm)side.
I take it ev ’ry where I walk, nor ance and smile.
Be your I’m an self (A)Eng lish man no in mat ter New what they York.
(Bm)say.
(A)Whoa, I’m an a li en, (Bm)I’m a le gal a li en.
(A)I’m an (Em)Eng lish man (A)in New York.
Whoa, I’m an a li en, (Bm)I’m a le gal a li en.
I’m an (Em)Eng lish man (A)in New York.
If “man ners mak eth man” as some one said,
a he’s the he ro of the (Bm)day.
It takes a man to suf fer ig nor ance and smile.
Be your I’m an self (A)Eng lish man no in mat ter New what they York.
(Bm)say.
(A)Whoa, I’m an a li en, (Bm)I’m a le gal a li en.
(A)I’m an (Em)Eng lish man (A)in New York.
Whoa, I’m an a li en, (Bm)I’m a le gal a li en.
I’m an (Em)Eng lish man (A)in New York.
(D)Mod es ty, pro pri e ty can (A)lead to no to ri e ty, but (Bm)you could end up as the on ly one.
(G)Gen tle ness, so bri e ty are (A)rare in this so ci e ty.
At (F#)night a can dle’s bright er than the sun.
Takes more than com bat gear to make a man.
Takes more than a (A)li cense for a (Bm)gun.
Con front your (A)en e mies, a void them when you can.
A (Em)gen tle man will walk, but nev er run.
If “man ners mak eth man” as some one said,
he’s the he ro of the (Bm)day.
It takes a man to suf fer ig nor ance and smile.
(A)Be your self no (A)mat ter what they (Bm)say.
(A)Be your self no (A)mat ter what they (Bm)say.
(A)Be your self no (A)mat ter what they (A)say.
Whoa, (Be your self I’m an no a mat li ter en, what they (A)I’m say.

Whoa, (Be your self say.)
