I wanna be an American boy
Sittin' on the back porch
On the 4th of July
I wish I was an American boy
Settin’ off fireworks
Havin’ a helluva time
Living / I wanna live in the American dream
I wanna feel those American joys
Drive a big friggin' truck
Eat some apple pie
I wanna make that American noise
Football cheers, cheersin’ beers, be a real cool guy
Living / I wanna live in the American dream
I don’t wanna make these American toys
My hands are weak
I’m gonna cry
My foreman’s an arsehole, his lies to Hasbro are ploys
I wanna rip out his heart / I’m not gonna lie
I wish I had a mohair sweater
I wish I had some mo' hair on my head
I wish I had Moe here, to pour me up a couple beer
But I’ll just play the spoons instead
I wanna be an American boy / on the 4th, on the 4th of July
