[Verso 1]

Em               A          Bm            
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear 
Em            A               Bm       
I like my toast done on one side  
Em          A               Bm             
And you can hear it in my accent when I   talk 
       Em            A     Bm 
I'm an Englishman in New  York  

Em       A            Bm             
See me walking down Fifth Avenue 
Em         A               Bm     
A walking cane here at my side 
Em         A               Bm    
I take it everywhere I walk 
Em                A       Bm  
I'm an Englishman in New York

Em                A                 Bm     
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said 
Em            A           Bm     
Then he's the hero of the day 
Em                A             Bm      
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile 
       Em         A             Bm 
Be yourself no matter what they say
