Only in America
Can a guy
From anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper
And wake up
A millionaire
Only in America
Can a kid
Without a cent
Get a break
And maybe grow up
To be president
Only in America
Land of opportunity
Yeah
Would a classy
Girl like you
Fall for a poor
Boy like me
Only in America
Can a kid
Who's washing cars
Take a giant step
And reach right up
Then touch the stars
Only in America
Could a dream
Like this come true
Could a guy like me
Start with nothing
And end up with you
Only in America
Land of opportunity
Yeah
Would a classy
Girl like you
Fall for a poor
Boy like me
Poor boy like me
Only in America
Only in America
