Half penny, two penny, gold Krugerrand
|
He was exceedingly rich for such a young man
|
Sad story, old story
|
Bring out the band
|
Another divorce just a few hundred grand
|
|
Half penny, two penny, back of the queue
|
Yes mister poor man this means you
|
Justice for money what can you say
|
We all know it's the American Way
|
|
Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
|
Back home across the sea
|
Where I know that I will be free
|
|
Half penny, two penny, back in the States
|
You just couldn't take that African pace
|
Yes, Mrs. Cleaver your son's home to stay
|
We all know it's the American Way
|
|
Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
|
Back home across the sea
|
Where I know that I will be free
|
|
"Come here - hey Angelo... what's happenin'?"
|
"Hey, Stosh, good to see ya"
|
"What the hell you doin'?"
|
"We're tearing this old building down here"
|
"Oh you're kiddin' me. Remember when we were kids, and we used to come here every Saturday afternoon to see a cartoon?"
|
"Yeah, I remember"
|
"Well what's she lost to?"
|
"Who knows- politicians, taxes...it's a disgrace"
|
"I'm not surprised, they make me sick. They don't make theaters like this any more."
|
|
Half penny, two penny, ashes to dust
|
The almighty dollar says "In God we trust"
|
Justice for money how much more can I pay
|
We all know it's the American Way
|
|
Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
|
Back home across the sea
|
Where I know that I will be free
|
(I want to be free)
|
|
Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
|
Back home across the sea
|
Where I know that I will be free
|
(We all want to be free)
