Southeast-Asian-American Blues

You been nothin' but trouble
Dealin' me double like I just got off the boat
You got me goin' in circles
Like I must be rowin' on some kinda moat
Well, I may be sinkin', but you're wrong
If you're thinkin' you got the only thing afloat

I was lost in the forest
Not a sample star in sight
I was lost, and I was tired
And the hoarfrost was sure puttin' on a bite
Well, I came knockin' at your door
You knew what for, but you just turned out your light
Yes, you did

I was behind you in line
With a dollar and a dime just the other day
Well, I was so damn hungry
An' I was pleased as punch to pay
Well, what could I say when you just walked away
With everything on your tray

Now you should put that look in mothballs
Before it does somebody harm
For you to wear a smile upon your face
I suppose somebody has to twist your arm
Well, if you're tryin' to take a page from that book
About Captain Hook, it's workin' like a charm

I don't know why you have it in for me
Is it because I'm from so far away?
Hey, well, we was just lookin'
For a peaceful place to stay
I never knew it could be true
And to think that you grew up in the U.S.A

I never knew it could be true
And to think that you grew up in the U.S.A
I never knew it could be true
And to think that you grew up in the U.S.A
