ONLY IN AMERICA

 - lyrics as recorded by Jay & The Americans

 

 Only in America

 Can a guy from anywhere

 Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire

 

 Only in America

 Can a kid without a cent

 Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

 

 Only in America

 Land of opportunity, yeah

 Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

 

 Only in America

 Can a kid who's washin' cars

 Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars

 

 Only in America

 Could a dream like this come true

 Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you

 

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

 

 Only in America

 Land of opportunity, yeah

 Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

 

 Only in America (poor 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
