Popular Americans lyrics
From New York City to the Golden Gate
The Great Lakes to the Rio Grande
There s a hip new feeling, that we re awfully appealing
To the universal common man

So get in line, if you d like to shake our hands
We re the ones, we re the popular Americans
Ooh yeah, back on the scene

We ve come to pledge allegiance
At the altar of convenience
In our wide leg baggy jeans

And we ve pinned our passions
On the tail end of fashion
Now we re as sexy as our shaving cream
When in doubt, we consult our magazines

We re the ones, we re the popular Americans
Ooh yeah, back on the scene
Having fun, we re the popular Americans
Ooh yeah, bet you wish you were me

I bet you wish you were me, yeah
Don t you wish you were me?
Oh, baby, back on the scene

When you re so prestigious, it makes you half religious
In a patriotic sort of way, our money says we trust
But you know it s only just
A party slogan we were taught to say

We re the ones, we re the popular Americans
Ooh yeah, back on the scene
Having fun, we re the popular Americans
Ooh yeah, bet you wish you were me

I bet you wish you were me, yeah
Don t you wish you were me?
Oh, baby, back on the scene
Yeah, yeah, yeah
