[00:02.36]My father was a tattoo artist in Haiphong
[00:07.61]But his designs on mother didn't last too long
[00:12.30]My mother sold her body high on Betel nuts
[00:17.18]My job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts
[00:22.48]Selling your mom is a wrench
[00:24.89]Perfume can cover a stench
[00:27.40]That's what I learned from the French
[00:34.64]Then it all changed with Dien Bien Phu
[00:39.83]The frogs went home Who came Guess who
[00:45.09]Are you surprised we went insane
[00:50.36]With dollars pouring down like rain
[00:55.30]Businessmen never rob banks
[00:57.56]I can sell sh*t and get thanks
[01:00.32]That's what I learned from the Yanks
[01:05.56]I'm fed up with small-time hustles
[01:10.80]I'm too good to waste my talent for greed
[01:15.61]I need room to flex my muscles
[01:21.20]In an ocean where the big sharks feed
[01:26.35]Make me Yankee they're my family
[01:32.35]They're selling what people need
[01:42.23]What's that I smell in the air
[01:46.24]The American dream
[01:52.19]Sweet as a new millionaire
[01:56.48]The American dream
[02:02.62]Pre-packed ready-to-wear
[02:06.33]My American dream
[02:11.99]Fat like a chocolate eclair
[02:15.43]As I suck out the cream
[02:20.20]Luck by the tail
[02:24.62]How can I fail
[02:27.84]And best of all it's for sale
[02:30.31]The American dream
[02:35.34]Greasy chinks make life so sleazy
[02:38.76]In the States I'll have a club that's four-starred
[02:42.02]Men like me there have things easy
[02:45.46]I have a lawyer and a body-guard
[02:49.12]To the Johns there I'll sell blondes there
[02:52.86]That they can charge on a card
[03:02.25]What's that I smell in the air
[03:06.02]The American dream
[03:11.77]Sweet as a suite in Bel-air
[03:15.26]The American dream
