New lyrics (M. Hart)


Only in America
Can a guy from anyplace
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up with even less

Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a second job and maybe grow up to be in debt

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a sassy girl like you fall for a frat boy like me

Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Short change the wrong guy and end up stuck behind bars

Only in America
Could a scheme like this come true
Could a president start a war to get term number two

------ instrumental break ------

Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a sassy girl like you fall for a frat boy like me

Only in America (frat boy like me)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America



<cheers>
