Lyrics

Big in America

I met a roach in America

His family had a massive tree

They live just about everywhere

He was big in America

He was big in America

I met a vet in America

He was alive

He was in overdrive

He'd just been around everywhere

He was big in America

He was big in America

And when you're big in America you like to live in America

You won't be on your own

And since you're big in America

You might as well make America your home

Big in America!

I met a girl in America

She wore the pants

Cross the big expanse

She was whipping men everywhere

She was big in America

She was big in America

And when you're big in America you like to live in America

Big in America!

Big in America!

Big in America!
