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 in ter New they York.

(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 in ter New they York.

(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.

Whoa, your self say.)
