As the dolly bird catches her worm\\
The People's Court is adjourned\\
my eyes have started to burn\\
from watching the big apple turn..\\
\\
Armed with only your unruly red lips\\
and a fistful of dollars for tips\\
You took off from your home in the sticks\\
to get stoned\\
\\
You got trapped by a tourist\\
in a Union Jack shirt\\
swapped crack smoking stories with some crazies from stir\\
went back to your hotel room\\
where you were 'unwelcome sir'\\
Do you miss America?\\
\\
He came from Louisiana\\
with a banjo on his shirt\\
a Contra bandana and a gambler's smirk\\
And a star spangled spanner\\
to throw in the works\\
\\
And all the time\\
the television bible delivers the goods\\
Repackaged, recycled, peddled and pushed\\
And a bird with Kennedy's worth two with a Bush\\
Do you miss America?\\
\\
Down down baby down down the rollercoaster\\
Sweet sweet baby sweet sweet don't let me go\\
Jimmy Jimmy coco pop Jimmy Jimmy Rolling Rock\\
Forget about the Alamo, bicarbonate of soda pop\\
New York New York it's a hell of a place\\
a 27 hour a day ambulance chase\\
It's four in the morning and I've got so much to learn\\
from watching the big apple turn over \\
