Stranglers, The - Big In America Lyrics






I met a roach in America
his family had a massive tree

they live just about everywhere -
he was big in America
he was big in America.

I met a vet in America
he was alive
he was in overdrive

he'd just been around everywhere -
he was big in America
he was big in America.

And when you're big in America you like to live in America -
you won't be on your own -
and since you're big in America
you might as well make America your home.
Big in America!

I met a girl in America
she wore the pants
cross the big expanse

she was whipping men everywhere -
she was big in America
she was big in America.

And when you're big in America you like to live in America -
big in America!
Big in America!
Big in America!

  6. J.... B....

    The Trump version of the song is called "Biggly in America"

    J.... B....

    No Trump just thinks "If ya'll wanna Bigger D@#k vote GOP. he's mistaken, will you tell him or will I! Whatever Matt Whitaker reckons about his 'Special Commode' , I thought he was kinda involved in scamming people over big foot, he's moved up from feet a little has he?

    One year later Rag Doll was recorded by Aerosmith.
