[chorus:]
Now it Cseems we've been crying for Gyears and for years Now I Emdon't speak any English, just CAmerican without Gtears Just CAmerican without Gtears
One had been a beauty queen and the other was her friend They had known rogues and rascals and showbiz impresarios While the boys were licking Hitler they had something to defend >From men armed with chewing gum and fine nylon hose By a bicycle factory as they sounded the siren And returned into the dancehall she knew he was the one Though he wasn't tall or handsome she laughed when he told her "I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham and this is Little John" [chorus]
At a Adock in Southampton full of Dtearful Agoodbyes NewsAreel commentators said "CBheerio, EG.I. brides" ASoon they'll be finding the Dcold facts and Alies New Awords for suspenders and young Egirls backAsides Now AI'm in America and Drunning from Ayou Like my Agrandfather before me walked the Bstreets of New EYork And I Athink of all the women I preDtend mean more than Ayou When I Aopen my mouth and I Ecan't seem to Atalk
Now it Dseems we've been crying for Ayears and for years F#m [barre it] D A Now I don't speak any English just American without tears
Just ADmerican without Atears
