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

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

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Jamaicanin New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Jamaicanin New York

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

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Jamaicanin New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Jamaicanin New York

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

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
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Jamaicanin New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Jamaicanin New York
