[My American Ego]
Paris
My heart’s devotion
Let it sink back in the Seine
Always the rain falling
Always the Parisians grumbling
And the rents increasing
And the subway stinking
And the pigeons growing
I like United States of America
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in…

I like to be in Obama’s America
Okay by me in Obama’s America
Everything free in America

[My French Ego]
For a small fee you’ll buy a gun in America

[My American Ego]
Eating peanut butter M&M’s is so nice

[My French Ego]
One more and you’ll fatten twice

[My American Ego]
People are so hospitable

[My French Ego]
But how many real friend have you got here?

[My American Ego]
The President wears straight ties in America
He sings on TV shows in America
Martin Luther King, Harvey Milk and Bill Gates are heroes in America

[My French Ego]
The Tea Party and Sarah Palin amass votes in America

[My American Ego]
Lots of majestic buildings reaching the sky

[My French Ego]
You are scared of heights on the Eiffel Tower!

[My American Ego]
I’ll get the job I’ve always dreamt

[My French Ego]
Better get rid of your stupid French accent

[My American Ego]
Life can be so cool in Obama’s America

[My French Ego]
If you can pay in America

[My American Ego]
Life is all right in Obama’s America

[My French Ego]
If you have a healthcare cover in America

[My American Ego]
I must be proud to be American

[My French Ego]
Until you note country is the most popular music in America

[My American Ego]
Free to be the girl that I want

[My French Ego]
Free to be married with three children, a dog and a station wagon at 25

Tasteless cheese in America
The survival of the fittest in America
Texas is in America

[My American Ego]
You forget I’m in America

[My French Ego]
I think I’ll go back to Paris

[My American Ego]
I know what flight you can get on

[My French Ego]
Everyone there will give big cheers

[My American Ego]
Everyone there dream of moving here
