Intro

 Well a US soldier boy on leave in West Berlin

 No music there that rocks, just a thousand violins

 He wants to hear some American Music, American Music.

They want to hear that sound right from the USA

Well it can be sweet and lovely, it can be hard and mean

But one thing's for sure: it's always on the beam

They want to hear some American Music, American Music

They want to hear that sound right from the USA

It's a howl from the desert, the screams from the slums

The Mississippi rollin' to the beat of the drums

Because they're playing American Music, American Music

They want to hear that sound right from the USA

(bridge)

We got the Louisiana boogie and the Delta Blues

Country swing and rockabilly, too

We got jazz, country-western and Chicago blues

It's the greatest music that you ever knew

Well it's American Music, it's American Music It's American Music

It's the greatest sound right from the USA

Well a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks

When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back

Because they're playing American Music, American Music

The whole world digs that sound from the USA
