American Thru and Thru


George Washington never told a lie
and Abe Lincoln would rather die
than see a man in the chains of slavery

Babe, tell them we've been to St Andrews for the golf,
Wimbledon for the tennis and cricket at Lords
when we step down off the plane at JFK

There's something in the water over there,
- Malvern Spring and Irn Bru -
but we're American thru and thru

as American as apple pie
though I sound like Dick Van Dyke
and you're a Mary Poppins lookalike

Looking forward to some country gospel
when we get back to Nashville, Tennessee,
Lord, it's great to be back in the USA

George Washington never told a lie
and Abe Lincoln would rather die
than see a man in the chains of slavery.
