letra de typical self-made american (1930) - 1990 studio cast of strike up the band
[fletcher]
while other lads were trying out the bicycle
or pitching pennies on the parlor floor
their pleasures left me colder than an icicle
for i knew what i was predestined for
[yes men]
yes, he knew what he was predestined for
[fletcher]
i got a job and worked both day and night at it
and all the day i never watched the clock
the big boss thought i was so very bright at it
that when i poisoned him he left me all the stock
i was therе when opportunity came to knock
[jim]
like a hеro in an alger novel
he was born and brought up in a hovel
[fletcher]
though i often had to face disaster
i would always prove myself the master
[yes men]
he would always prove himself the master
[fletcher]
i’m a man of very quick decision
for i always had the gift of vision
[jim]
he upholds the country’s constitution
and he hates the russian revolution
[yes men]
how he hates the russian revolution!
he upholds the country’s laws
because, because, because, because
[fletcher]
i am a typical self-made american
i’ve been a go-getter ever since life began
in a modest way, i feel
i am basically sound
with my shoulder to the wheel
and my two feet on the ground
[fletcher, jim & yes men]
i am / he is a typical, typical, typical self-made american
[fletcher]
from the lowest of the ranks i’ve risen
[jim]
now both honor and success are his’n
[fletcher]
always fighting for the small consumer
[jim]
and now tell ’em of your sense of humor
[yes men]
of your devastating sense of humor
[fletcher]
i’m a mason and an elk and woodman
[jim]
which unquestionably shows a good man
[fletcher]
i’ve been very good to dear old mother
[yes men]
so we’ll never work for any other
we don’t care to work for any other
and we give him our applause
because, because, because, because
he is a typical self-made american
[fletcher]
with wheat cakes for breakfast, corn flakes and lots of bran
i’m as good a man, i feel
as a ruler who is crowned
with my shoulder to the wheel
and my two feet on the ground
[fletcher, jim & yes men]
i am / he is a typical, typical, typical self-made american!
[jim, spoken]
now mr. fletcher, about that tariff—
[fletcher]
though my—
[jim, spoken]
okay
[fletcher]
clothes from london are imported
[jim]
and italian cars alone he’s sported
though he gets his liquor from bermuda
[fletcher]
and my secretary’s a yehudah
[yes men]
and his secretary’s a yehudah
[fletcher]
though they tell me that my nose is grecian
and my drinking glasses are venetian
though i’ve ribbons from the king of siam
what a patriotic yankee i am
[yes men]
what a patriotic yank that guy am
and his health we hereby toast
we toast, we toast, and boast, and boast
he is a typical self made american
where in the world could you show us a n0bler man?
[fletcher]
in a modest way i feel
i’m as solid as a rock
i made mother my ideal
and i never watched the clock
[fletcher, jim & yes men]
i am / he is a typical, typical, typical self-made american!
