	作词 : MacManus
	Outside in
	New Orleans, the heat was almost frightening
	But my hotel room as usual was freezing and unkind
	On TV, they prosecute anyone who's exciting
	So I put on my overcoat and went down to find
	In Revlon and
	Crimpelene, they captured my heart
	To the strain of a piano and a cocktail murderess
	She was singing that, '
	It's Too Late',
	I agreed with that part
	For two English girls who had changed their address
	Now it seems we've been crying for years and for years
	Now I don't speak any
	English, just
	American without tears
	Just American without tears
	One had been a beauty queen and the other was her friend
	They had known rogues and rascals and showbiz impresarios
	While the boys were licking
	Hitler, they had something to defend
	From men armed with chewing gum and fine nylon hose
	By a bicycle factory, as they sounded the siren
	And returned into the dance hall, she knew he was the one
	Though he wasn't tall or handsome, she laughed when he told her"I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham and this is Little John"
	Now it seems we've been crying for years and for years
	Now I don't speak any
	English, just
	American without tears
	Just American without tears
	At a dock in
	Southampton full of tearful goodbyes
	Newsreel commentators said, "Cheerio, G.I. brides"
	Soon they'll be finding the cold facts and lies
	New words for suspenders and young girls backsides
	Now I'm in
	America and running from you
	Like my grandfather before me walked the streets of
	New YorkAnd
	I think of all the women,
	I pretend mean more than you
	When I open my mouth and
	I can't seem to talk
	Now it seems we've been crying for years and for years
	Now I don't speak any
	English just
	American without tears
	Just American without tears
