Lyrics of Big in America by The Stranglers
verse
I met a roach in America
His family had a massive tree
chorus
They live just about everywhere -
He was big in America
He was big in America.
verse
I met a vet in America
He was alive
He was in overdrive
chorus
He'd just been around everywhere -
He was big in America
He was big in America.
verse
And when you're big in America you like to live in America -
You won't be on your own -
And since you're big in America
You might as well make America your home.
Big in America!
verse
I met a girl in America
She wore the pants
Cross the big expanse
chorus
She was whipping men everywhere -
She was big in America
She was big in America.
outro
And when you're big in America you like to live in America -
Big in America!
Big in America!
Big in America!
Writer(s): Hugh Cornwell, Jean Jacques Burnel, David Greenfield, Brian(black Duffy
