Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Johnny's in America
No tricks at the wheel
No one needs anyone
They don't even just pretend
Johnny's in America
[Verse 2]
I'm afraid of Americans
Yeah, I'm afraid of the world
And I'm afraid I can't help it
Yeah, I'm afraid I can't, I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
Yeah, I'm afraid of the world
And I'm afraid I can't help it
Yeah, I'm afraid I can't, I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
[Verse 3]
America-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca
[Verse 4]
Johnny wants a plane
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
(J-J-J-Johnny's so funny)
[Verse 5]
Yes, we can, can, American can
Yes, we can, can, American can
Yes, we can, can, American can
If anyone can, can, American
[Verse 6]
I'm afraid of Americans
Yeah, I'm afraid of the world
And I'm afraid I can't help it
Yeah, I'm afraid I can't, I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
Yeah, I'm afraid of the world
And I'm afraid I can't help it
Yeah, I'm afraid I can't, I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
[Verse 7]
Johnny's in America
Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair down
Johnny wants pussy and cars
(J-J-J-Johnny's so funny)
[Verse 8]
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Johnny's in America
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) Johnny's in America
[Verse 9]
And I'm afraid of Americans (I'm afraid of Americans)
I'm afraid of the world (Yeah, I'm afraid of the world)
And I'm afraid I can't help it (I'm afraid I can't help it)
I'm afraid of A–, I'm afraid of A–
I'm afraid of Americans (I'm afraid of Americans)
I'm afraid of the world (Yeah, I'm afraid of the world)
And I'm afraid I can't help it (I'm afraid I can't help it)
I'm afraid of A–, I'm afraid of A–
[Verse 10]
I'm afraid of Americans (Yes, we can, can, American can)
I'm afraid of the world (Yes, we can, can, American can)
And I'm afraid I can't help it (Yes, we can, can, American can)
I'm afraid of A–, I'm afraid of A– (If anyone can, can, American can)
[Verse 11]
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
And I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid of A–, I'm afraid of A–
