Lyrics
A Real Live American Man Verse: You’ve heard the song of lovers that mushy gushy stuff Of songs of dear old home you’ve surely had enough And tunes of dear old Ireland with Colleens waiting near But one song they never sing tho’ its one you’d love to hear. Refrain: Not a song of mother nor of dear old dad Not one of pretty baby tho’ that always makes you glad It’s of one thing we are proud find a better if you can A fair square never takes a dare a real live American man. Verse: Those songs of love and dreamland you hear most ev’ryday, Of Honolulu Town on Oaku far away Or pretty Indian maidens and those of China land But one tune you’d love to hear played loudly by some band Refrain
