Hey  there people I'm Bobby Brown
They  say I'm the cutest boy in town
My  car is fast, my teeth are shiney
I  tell all the girls they can kiss my hiney
 Here I am at a famous school
 I'm dressing sharp and I'm acting cool
 I got a cheerleader here, wants to help with my paper
 Let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her
  Oh God  I am the american dream
  I do  not think I'm too  extreme
  And I'm a handsome  son of a bitch
  I'm gonna get a good job and be real rich
  (get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job)
 Women's liberation
 Came creeping all across the nation
 I tell you people, I was not ready
 When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddy
 She made a little speach then
 uuh, she tried to make me say when
 She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
 I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots too quick
  Oh God I am the american dream
  But now I smell like vaseline
  I'm a miserable son of a bitch
  Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which
  ( I wonder, wonder, I wonder, wonder)
 So I went out and bought me a leisure suit
 I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
 Got a job doing radio promo
 And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
 Eventually me and a friend
 Sort of drifted along into S&M
 I can take about an hour on the tower of power
 As long as I gets a little golden shower
  Oh God, I am the american dream
  With a spindle up my butt 'till it makes me scream
  And I'll do anything to get ahead
  I lay awake nights saying "Thank you, Fred"
  Oh God,  oh God, I'm so fantastic
  Thanks  to Freddie, I'm a sexual  spastic
  And my name  is Bobby Brown
  Watch me now, I'm going down
  And my name  is Bobby Brown
  Watch me now, I'm going down
 Simply repeat the chords for the verses and the refrain. The words in
 brackets are originally for the background voices. If you sing them,
 the most difficult point is the end of "..get a good job", because the
 lyrics of the following verse start at the same time as "job".
 If there are mistakes in the lyrics: I took them from the ftp.sunet.se
 /pub/music/lyrics. Let them know.
 I'm not so shure about the "Dm7" chords either, plain "Dm" might do just
 fine. Corrections welcome, but don't send them to me, as I will be lea-
 ving this account quite soon. Send them to Nevada instead, I'll be back
 on the net some other time.
