Hey, shut your mouth
East is east, west is west
I know which I like the best
Gonna take my partner by the hand
Take her to the promised land
And all the people I know will say
"Is Big Rubadub gonna come today?"
Do you like drugs? Do you like killing?
Do you like listening to boogie tune?
Gonna fire those planes over the sea
Light it up like a Christmas tree
And all the people I know will say
"Is Big Rubadub gonna come today?"
Gonna come today
Well, I can speak American
I can speak American
Just like Charlie Chan and
Lois Lane and Superman
I'm a roadrunner, baby, you know what I am
I can speak American
Just like Lois Lane and
Charlie Chan and Superman
I don't like Jerry, but I do like Tom
And what they did to Tom was wrong
I don't like the police, but I do like Kong
What they did to Kong was wrong
It was wrong
What they did to Kong was wrong
It was a big wrong, a big W
I can speak American
I can speak American
Just like Charlie Chan and
Lois Lane and Superman
I'm a roadrunner, baby, you know what I am
I can speak American
Just like Lois Lane and
Charlie Chan and Superman
Can you wear a suit on Mars?
Yes you can, if you wear it well
I got a suit and I wear it well
Yo, dummy, spacesuit
It's a spacesuit, dummy
You see the dome?
You see the chrome dome?
It's a spacesuit with a big W on the front
I can speak American
I can speak American
Just like Charlie Chan and
Lois Lane and Superman
I'm a roadrunner, baby, you know what I am
I can speak American
Just like Lois Lane and
Charlie Chan and Superman
Listen, listen to me
A-tisket, a-tasket
A-green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I lost it
Oh, so lonely, oh
I can speak American
I can speak American
Just like Charlie Chan and
Lois Lane and Superman
I'm a roadrunner, baby, you know what I am
I can speak American
Just like Lois Lane and
Charlie Chan and Superman
