Lyrics

Loved it then and I love it now The country and the Cajun and the Delta blues There's nothing like the tapping of a Bruce Wayne chew When it's done in an American accent Loved the Memphis and the Nashville sounds I turned to Lux when the lights were down I sang like Elvis on my paper round I sang in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kinda high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent I bought a guitar when I was just fourteen I wanted to be groovy on the party scene Looking kinda chubby in my Parker's jeans I sang in an American accent Bobby Dylan he was all the rage The denim-clad hero of the modern age I guess I was going through an awkward stage When I sang in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kinda high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent Sang a song on the BBC They let me keep the tape for free I played it back it didn't sound like me I sang in an American accent Opened the curtains and I looked outside I saw the reality I could not hide This isn't Memphis this isn't Morningside And I don't have an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kinda high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent Loved it then and I love it now The country and the Cajun and the Delta blues There's nothing like the tapping of a Bruce Wayne chew When it's done in an American accent Loved the Memphis and the Nashville sounds I turned to Lux when the lights went down I sang like Elvis on my paper round I sang in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kinda high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kinda high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent
