- lyrics as recorded by Jay & The Americans



Only in America

Can a guy from anywhere

Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire



Only in America

Can a kid without a cent

Get a break and maybe grow up to be President



Only in America

Land of opportunity, yeah

Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me



Only in America

Can a kid who's washin' cars

Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars



Only in America

Could a dream like this come true

Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you



------ instrumental break ------



Only in America

Land of opportunity, yeah

Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me



Only in America (poor boy like me)

Only in America (only in America)

Only in America (only in America)

Only in America (only in America)

Only in America (only in America)

Only in America
