Back In The U.S.A.

"Back in the U.S.A.," by Chuck Berry, as done by The Modern Lovers
One, two
One, two, three

Oh well, oh well, I feel real good today
You see, we just touched ground on an international runway
Jet-propelled back home to the U.S.A
New York, Los Angeles, you know that I yearned for you
And Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Oh, not to mention being home in Boston, Massachusetts

I'll tell you something, now, did I miss the skyscrapers and the long freeways?
From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay
Oh, yes I did, until I got back in the U.S.A
Rock a while, let's go!

Well, take me to a drive-in, take me to a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night and day
I wanna see a jukebox jump with records in the U.S.A
Let's talk about it

You see, I'm so glad I was brought up in the U.S.A., oh yeah
Well, I'm so glad I'm living in the U.S.A., it's true
Whatcha want? We got it right back in the U.S.A
Maxwell, look out!

Just take me to a drive-in; any little corner café
I wanna hear hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle, night and day
I wanna see a jukebox jump with records in the U.S.A., let's go
Well, I'm so glad I'm a-living in the U.S.A., oh yeah
Well, I'm so glad I was brought up in the U.S.A., I am
'Cause whatcha want, whatcha want, it's here in the U.S.A
