Do america
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I've been it ever since I was a kid at school
Now they love me in Newcastle and in Liverpool
I'm as hot as a pistol I can do no wrong
I've been to Birmingham and Bristol playing my song
Take a 777 to the USA
Gonna party all night I'm gonna sleep all day
See New York 'cos I've never been
New York city in a limousine
Gonna do America do do America
Do America do do America now
Take a 777 over to LA
Gonna party all night I'm gonna sleep all day
Wake up and drive around
Get the coolest girls in town
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
And all the people go na na
And all the people go ra ra
And all the people go ga ga when I
Do America do do America
Do America do do America
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
Backstage passes for the food and booze
Sunglasses for my interviews
Statue of Liberty
Everybody looking at me
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
