Lyrics Mark Knopfler – Do America
Text:
Well I’ve been it ever since I was a kid at school
Now they love me in Newcastle and in Liverpool
I am as hot as a pistol I can’t do no wrong
I’ve been in Birmingham and Bristol to play my song
Take the 777 to the USA
Gonna party all night I’m gonna sleep all day
See New York City ‘cos I’ve never been
New York City in a limousine
Gonna do America do do America
Do America do do America now
Take the 777 over to LA
Gonna party all night I’m gonna sleep all day
Wake up and drive around
Get the coolest girl in town
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
And all the people go na na
And all the people go ra ra
And all the people go ga ga when I
Do America do do America
Do America do do America
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
Backstage passes for the food and booze
Sunglasses for my interviews
Statue of Liberty
Everybody looking at me
Do America do do America
Do America do do America now
