Lyrics
American Bride
You've got American eyes
You've got American drive
You're all-American wise
I see it clear in your eyes
That American pride
I'm falling for an All-American guy
You're all-American straight
And I know I'm not too late
To meet my 'merican fate
This is why I must wait, by the White House gate
I finally found my all-American mate
I met you in the south of France
That's where you asked me out to dance
And you told me you were sent
By the US government
You shredded paper for the CIA
Spied for the Navy in Montego Bay
You told me you had dues to pay
And you called it the American way
You've got the American touch
And I love you so much
You're my 'merican knight
And you put up a fight
But you're way on the right
I don't care, I think you're outasite
You told me that you were sent
This time by the President
And for goodness sakes, I shouldn't pry
Into dealings of a master spy
Saw your picture plastered in Le Monde
Went to your head, you're the new James Bond
Your covert actions I won't assess
You're the Secretary of my Caress
You've got American eyes
You've got American drive
You're all-American wise
I see it clear in your eyes
(Spoken) You're all-American
But you do not cry
Now I'm your's, your all-American bride
