Mama said he'd be a failure
Live down on the Bowery somewhere, yeah
Libacious schoolboy with that slicked back hair
Playing your guitar, you rock and you roll
Listen to American pop, American pop
Listen to American pop music
Listen to American pop, American pop
Listen to American pop music
Down on the corner, turn on your radio
Frankie, there you are underneath the skyline
The roar and the heat
Listen American pop
Listen American music
Listen American pop
Listen American music
Mama, look at your boy now
Listen to American pop, American pop
Listen to American pop music
Listen to American pop, American pop
Listen to American pop music
