Autumn's child is catchin' hell

For having been too nave to tell

Property rights from chapel bells

There's nothing we can do

We could not get there in time

It's too late

She signed on the dotted line

Oh, shoot 'em up

Cops and robbers

Oh, America

The manager smiled

he said, we're gonna straighten

This mess

He had a picture of Spot

And Jane on his desk

So I signed his strange contract

With the transparent lines

There's nothing we can do

We could not get there in time

It's too late

She signed on the dotted line

Oh, shoot 'em up

Cops and robbers

Oh, America

The lawyers cried

Through the telephone rings

The doctors sighed

She's imagining things

When he came through the window

With those crazy eyes

Dick Tracy in disguise

He said, you need a guiding

Hand

You're soft and you're fine

Sign here on the dotted line

Oh, big deals

Cops and robbers

Oh, America

I am your rose

American dreamer

Flyin' high

And down through America

Didn't you know

American dreamer

Flyin' high

And down through America

America

America
