MAN: Oh, it's six o'clock and it's time to rock
Cm Fm Cm
And me head is beatin' like a drum
Cm D# Gm
In the cold day light, ah I feel like shite
D# G# Cm
And I can't remember last night's fun
D# A# D#
Then the foreman says, "C'mon now boys
D# Gm Fm G#
Stick your fingers down your throat and get to work"

And I wish to Christ I'd stayed home last night
Cm Fm Cm
Instead of drinkin' in America
Cm A# Gm
Oh, I knock down walls with big iron balls
D# Cm
And I mix cement by the ton
Cm A# Gm
With me tongue hangin' out for a bottle of stout
G# Fm Cm
Sweatin' bullets in the Brooklyn sun
D# A# D#
Then I think of her up on Kings Bridge Road
D# Fm
Did she mean what she said last night
Cm A# Gm
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
Cm Fm Cm
Livin' in America
Cm A# Gm

WOMAN: On me way downtown, I think of that clown
Cm Fm Cm
And the things that he said last night
Cm A# Gm
Did he mean 'em at all or was it just drink talk
Gm Fm Cm
Oh, I must look a terrible sight
D# A# D#
Put me makeup on as I watch the sun
D# Gm Fm G#
Rise high over Fordham Road
Cm A# Gm
BOTH: Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
D# Fm Cm
Livin' in America
Cm A# Gm
WOMAN: Oh, the kids aren't dressed and the house is a mess

And the yuppies are networkin' again

Kiss their darlin's goodbye, "Oh, we'll be late tonight

But we should be home by eleven"
D# A# D#
Oh, me little dears dry up your tears
D# Fm G#
BOTH: Your parents are too busy makin' money
Cm A# Gm
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
Cm Fm Cm
Livin' in America

MAN: Workin' with the black man, Dominican and Greek
G# A#
In the snows of January or the drenchin' August heat
Cm G#
No sick days or benefits and for Christ's sake don't get hurt
Cm Cm
The quacks over here won't patch you up
Cm
Unless they see the bucks upfront
G# A#
WOMAN: Lookin' after babies from crack of dawn 'til dusk
G# A#
Changin' dirty nappies and cleanin' up the house
F G#
BOTH: Is this what I've been educated for

To wipe the arse of every baby in America?

MAN: Now the day is done, take the subway home
Cm Fm Cm
Squashed up like some sardine in a can
Cm A#
In the Blarney Stone, drink a gallon of foam
Fm A# Cm
'Til I'm feelin' half myself again
D# A# D#
If she comes tonight, I'll ask her outright
D# Gm Fm
Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained
Cm A# Gm
And if she takes a chance, she might find romance
G# Fm Cm D#
Now she's livin' in America
Cm A#
WOMAN: See him standing there with the ring in his ear
Cm Cm
And the grin on the side of his face
Cm A# Gm
With the fag in his mouth oh I should watch out
Cm Cm
For they say that he's a real hard case
D# A# D#
Should I take me chance or say no thanks?
D# Fm G#
BOTH: Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained
Cm A# Gm
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
