《The American Dream(Original London Cast Recording/1989)》歌词

[00:00:00] The American Dream - Jonathan Pryce

[00:00:11] My father was a tattoo artist in Haiphong

[00:00:17] but his designs on mother didn't last too long

[00:00:21] my mother sold her body, high on Betel nuts

[00:00:27] my job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts

[00:00:32] selling your mom is a wrench

[00:00:35] perfume can cover a stench

[00:00:38] that's what I learned from the French

[00:00:45] Then it all changed with Dien Bien Phu

[00:00:51] the frogs went home. Who came? Guess who?

[00:00:57] are you surprised we went insane

[00:01:03] with dollars pouring down like rain?

[00:01:09] businessmen never rob banks

[00:01:12] you can sell sh*t and get thanks

[00:01:15] that's what I learned from the Yanks

[00:01:20] I'm fed up with small-time hustles

[00:01:26] I'm too good to waste my talent for greed

[00:01:31] I need room to flex my muscles

[00:01:36] in an ocean where the big sharks feed

[00:01:41] make me Yankee, they're my family

[00:01:46] they're selling what people need

[00:01:54] What's that I smell in the air

[00:01:58] the American dream

[00:02:03] sweet as a new millionaire

[00:02:07] the American dream

[00:02:11] pre-packed, ready-to-wear

[00:02:15] the American dream

[00:02:20] fat, like a chocolate eclair

[00:02:23] as you suck out the cream

[00:02:28] Luck by the tail

[00:02:33] how can you fail?

[00:02:37] and best of all, it's for sale

[00:02:40] the American dream

[00:02:45] Greasy chinks make life so sleazy

[00:02:50] in the States I'll have a club that's four-starred

[00:02:54] men like me there have things easy

[00:02:57] they have a lawyer and a body-guard

[00:03:02] to the Johns there I'll sell blondes there

[00:03:06] that they can charge on a card

[00:03:14] What's that I smell in the air?

[00:03:17] the American dream

[00:03:22] sweet as a suite in Bel-air

[00:03:26] the American dream

[00:03:31] girls can buy tits by the pair

[00:03:34] the American dream

[00:03:39] bald people think they'll grow hair

[00:03:43] the American dream

[00:03:47] call girls are lining time square

[00:03:51] the American dream

[00:03:56] bums there have money to spare

[00:03:59] the American dream

[00:04:04] cars that have bars take you there

[00:04:07] the American dream

[00:04:12] on stage each night: Fred Astaire

[00:04:16] the American dream

[00:04:20] Shlitz down the drain!

[00:04:24] pop the Champagne!

[00:04:28] it's time we all entertain

[00:04:31] my American dream!

[00:04:44] Girls boys invited to hotel

[00:04:46] the American dream

[00:04:51] Wall Street designed to sell

[00:04:54] the American dream

[00:04:59] Come make a life from the hell

[00:05:01] the American dream

[00:05:07] come and get more than your share

[00:05:09] the American dream

[00:05:14] There I will crown

[00:05:19] Miss Chinatown

[00:05:22] all yours for ten percent down

[00:05:25] the American dream!
