I thought I would go to the sea and shrink down very tiny
And slide inside the telephone wire that runs beneath the briny
Till i found the easier way of crawling to the U - S - A.
(You had better not go too far) There?s one way out there?s on-ly one way
(Leave your mother and your father) Crawling to the U - S - A.
with this on a second guitar for first two lines:
D|----------------------|
A|-3------3------7--7-5-|
E|----3-3---3-5---------|
Saw it late one night on a secret channel (crawling to the USA)
?? In spite of an alarmed tunnel (crawling to the USA)??nintelligible]
It?s way beyond the final station, that?s the one they nev -er mention
like verse 2)
You don?t have to pay them that much (crawling to the USA)
You had better bring bring your lunch (crawling to the USA)
it?s undercover around the houses, up your skirt and down your trousers
like Verse 1)
She says ?I caught you taking liberties and they do not impress me
But attach me to your credit card and then you can undress me?
Everybody is on their knees except the rich and those ???? Chinese
(with Verse 2 riff)
Crawling to the U - S - A, Crawling to the U - S - A...(repeat and fade)
