1
We heard Richard Nixon say, 'Welcome to the USA'
2
The common sense I sometimes lack has opened up a seismic crack
3
We've fallen in and I can't pull back
4
And I guess we'll have to stay
5
In open arms we put our trust, they put us on a big red bus
6
Twin spirits soaking up a dream, fuel to feed the press machine
7
After years that were long and lean
8
We're finally on our way
9
And Richard Nixon's on his knees, he's sent so many overseas
10
He'd like to know if you and me could help him in some way
11
A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do
12
A small diversion caused by two
13
Pale kids come to play
14
And we heard Richard Nixon say, 'Welcome to the USA'
15
Neither of us understood the way things ticked in Hollywood
16
We just loaded in and grabbed the bat with little room to swing a cat
17
And pretty soon we were where it's at
18
Or so the papers say
19
And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we've never seen
20
Our heroes led us by the hand through Brian Wilson's promised land
21
Where Disney's God and he commands
22
Both mice and men to stay
23
And Richard Nixon's on his knees, he's sent so many overseas
24
He'd like to know if you and me could help him in some way
25
A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do
26
A small diversion caused by two
27
Pale kids come to play
28
And we heard Richard Nixon say, 'Welcome to the USA'
29
In a bright red Porsche on Sunset I saw Steve McQueen
30
I guess he's just about the coolest guy I've ever seen
31
And for you and me that speeding car is how it's gonna to be
32
I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline
33
Oh, we heard Richard Nixon say, 'Welcome to the USA'
34
The common sense I sometimes lack has opened up a seismic crack
35
We've fallen in and I can't pull back
36
Pale kids come to play
37
And we heard Richard Nixon say, 'I gotta go but you can stay'
38
Pale kids come to play
39
And we heard Richard Nixon say, 'I gotta go but you can stay'
