| I am a foreign man, in a foreign land. I got some money, but, I don't know how much. I'm taking my time, to unwind. I got a half a bottle of wine, and a loaf of bread for lunch. I got a map of where I'm goin', but, I don't know where I am. It's a holiday in Paris and I'm the ugly American. 'Cause I'm a stranger in a strange land. Can't you hear it when I talk. I'm a stranger in a strange land. Can't you see it when I walk. I just skip across the pond like a stone. Past the international date-line, through a couple of time zones. And I'm... Walking the streets of Paris, umbrella by my side. Sittin in a cafe, watchin' the people go by. If it rains, I don't care, I can always go inside. I cannot read the menu, but, I can always point and smile. I know you all don't understand, I hold my fork in the wrong hand. You charge me twice the price and I say, "Thank You. It's been nice!" 'Cause I'm your American Cousin. Cousin, I like to talk real loud. I'm your American Cousin. Cousin, you know I ain't too proud. So, don't judge me by my politics, I'm not a political man. The things my government does, you know, I don't even understand. |
And you like our movies and you like our cars. You like our music, I can hear it in your bars. You like our fashion and you love our TV. So, why in the Hell, Don't You Like Me? 'Cause I'm a foreign man... I am a foreign man, in a foreign land. I got some money, but, I don't know how much. I'm taking my time, to unwind. I got a half a bottle of wine, and a loaf of bread for lunch. I got a map of where I'm goin', but, I don't know where I am. It's a holiday in Paris and I'm the ugly American. 'Cause I'm a stranger in a strange land. Can't you hear it when I talk. I'm a stranger in a strange land. Can't you see it when I walk. I just skip across the pond like a stone. Past the international date-line, through a couple of time zones. And I'm walking the streets of Paris. That umbrella still by my side. I know I sound kind of funny, but, this accent, I can't hide. And if you could explain it, I'd gladly say, "Merci." Just why in the Hell now, Don't You Like Me? Music & Lyrics Copyright by Bobby Brennan all rights reserved |
