MAN: Oh, it's six o'clock and it's time to rock
D#m G#m D#m
And me head is beatin' like a drum
D#m F# A#m
In the cold day light, ah I feel like shite
F# B D#m
And I can't remember last night's fun
F# C# F#
Then the foreman says, "C'mon now boys
F# A#m G#m B
Stick your fingers down your throat and get to work"
F# D#m C# A#m
And I wish to Christ I'd stayed home last night
D#m G#m D#m
Instead of drinkin' in America
D#m C# A#m
Oh, I knock down walls with big iron balls
F# D#m
And I mix cement by the ton
D#m C# A#m
With me tongue hangin' out for a bottle of stout
B G#m D#m
Sweatin' bullets in the Brooklyn sun
F# C# F#
Then I think of her up on Kings Bridge Road
F# G#m
Did she mean what she said last night
D#m C# A#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
D#m G#m D#m
Livin' in America
D#m C# A#m
F# D#m
D#m C# A#m
WOMAN: On me way downtown, I think of that clown
D#m G#m D#m
And the things that he said last night
D#m C# A#m
Did he mean 'em at all or was it just drink talk
A#m G#m D#m
Oh, I must look a terrible sight
F# C# F#
Put me makeup on as I watch the sun
F# A#m G#m B
Rise high over Fordham Road
D#m C# A#m
BOTH: Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
F# G#m D#m
Livin' in America
D#m C# A#m
WOMAN: Oh, the kids aren't dressed and the house is a mess
G#m D#m
And the yuppies are networkin' again
D#m C# F#
Kiss their darlin's goodbye, "Oh, we'll be late tonight
F# D#m
But we should be home by eleven"
F# C# F#
Oh, me little dears dry up your tears
F# G#m B
BOTH: Your parents are too busy makin' money
D#m C# A#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
D#m G#m D#m
Livin' in America
B C#
MAN: Workin' with the black man, Dominican and Greek
B C#
In the snows of January or the drenchin' August heat
D#m B
No sick days or benefits and for Christ's sake don't get hurt
D#m D#m
The quacks over here won't patch you up
D#m
Unless they see the bucks upfront
B C#
WOMAN: Lookin' after babies from crack of dawn 'til dusk
B C#
Changin' dirty nappies and cleanin' up the house
G# B
BOTH: Is this what I've been educated for
B C#
To wipe the arse of every baby in America?
D#m C#
D#m D#m
D#m C# A#m
D#m G#m D#m
F# C# F#
F# G#m
D#m C# A#m
D#m G#m D#m
D#m C# A#m
MAN: Now the day is done, take the subway home
D#m G#m D#m
Squashed up like some sardine in a can
D#m C#
In the Blarney Stone, drink a gallon of foam
G#m C# D#m
'Til I'm feelin' half myself again
F# C# F#
If she comes tonight, I'll ask her outright
F# A#m G#m
Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained
D#m C# A#m
And if she takes a chance, she might find romance
B G#m D#m F#
Now she's livin' in America
D#m C#
WOMAN: See him standing there with the ring in his ear
D#m D#m
And the grin on the side of his face
D#m C# A#m
With the fag in his mouth oh I should watch out
D#m D#m
For they say that he's a real hard case
F# C# F#
Should I take me chance or say no thanks?
F# G#m B
BOTH: Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained
D#m C# A#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
D#m G#m D#m
Livin' in America
D#m C#
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
F# D#m
Livin' in America
D#m C# A#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
B D#m
Livin' in America
D#m C#
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
D#m
Livin' in America
