American Music

Well, a U.S. soldier boy on leave in West-Berlin
 No music there that rocks, just a thousand violins
 They wanna hear some American music
 American music
 They wanna hear that sound right from the U.S.A.
 Well, it can be sweet and lovely, it can be hard and mean
 One thing's for sure, it's always on the beam
 They wanna hear some American music
 American music
 They wanna hear that sound right from the U.S.A.
 Well, it's a howl from the deserts, a scream from the slums
 The Mississippi rollin' to the beat of the drums
 They wanna hear some American music
 American music
 They wanna hear that sound right from the U.S.A.
 We got the Louisiana boogie and the delta blues
 We got country, swing and rockabilly, too
 We got jazz, country-western and Chicago blues
 It's the greatest music that you ever knew
 It's American music
 It's American music
 It's American music
 It's that crazy sound right from the U.S.A.
 Well, a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks
 When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back
 Because they're playing American music, American music
 The whole world digs that sound from the U.S.A.
