When Americans Come To London - Ed Harcourt

When Americans come to London wearing their clean white shoes

The men wear baseball caps and the women they look confused

Whenever I travel I try to blend in the crowd

Flowing to airports not thinking aloud

When Americans come to London they don’t understand our jokes

They’re loud but always pleasant and ride the tourist boats

They buy too much shortbread and put on weight

Just don’t get nervous, these are not your traits

So good that you come over here from there

So good that you come over here from there

Cos otherwise I’d be in despair

Don’t fear the USA

Don’t mock their quirky ways

They buy quaint English towns

But don’t put them down down down

So good that you come over here from there

So good that you come over here from there

So good that you came over here from there

Cos otherwise I’d be in despair
