I met a roach in America, his family had a massive tree

They live just about everywhere, he was big in America

I met a vet in America, he was alive, he was in overdrive

He was big in America

She was whippin' men everywhere, she was big in America

She was big in America

I met a car in America, the bumper hit, lucky I was fit

It was big in America
