She lays her down, he frowns
Gee, my life's a funny thing
He kissed her then and there
She took his rings and took his baby
It took him minutes, it took her nowhere
She wants the young American
Young American, young American,
she wants the young American
And in life through the picture window
she finds a slinky back of a horn
but heaven forbid she'll take anything

Where have all Papa's heroes gone?

Ain't you proud that you still got faces?
And ain't there one damn song
Young American, young American
She wants the young American
Young American, young American
She wants the Young American
She wants the Young American
We want the Young American
