[Intro]
"Back in the U.S.A.," by Chuck Berry
As done by The Modern Lovers
One, two
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
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 USA

[Verse 2]
New York, Los Angeles
You know that I yearned for you
And Detroit, Chicago
Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Oh, not to mention bein' home in Boston, Massachusetts

[Verse 3]
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 USA
Rock a while, let's go!
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
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 USA
Let's talk about it

[Verse 5]
You see, I'm so glad
I was brought up in the U.S.A., oh yeah
Well, I'm so glad
I'm livin' in the U.S.A., it's true
Whatcha want, we got it right back in the U.S.A
Maxwell, look out!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
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 USA, let's go
[Outro]
Well, I'm so glad I'm a-livin' in the USA, oh yeah
Well, I'm so glad I was brought up in the USA, I am
'Cause whatcha want, whatcha want, it's here in the USA
