Here comes the shake
The speed-decade wake
I see you wake
Shake
Fit on those overalls
What do you know about this world anyway?
I see a man
With an airfield plan
I caught a boy fall out of the sky
What do you know about this world anyway?

Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
In collective fame
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
Nassau club day
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American

In collective fame
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American

Nassau club days

Every time the handshake starts

Here comes the son
The american son
In here the son shines so bright
Eyes blind
What do you know about this world anyway?

Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
The eventful workouts
Nassau club days
Here comes the flag
Hand-shake
This world.....
