Woke up to the frying pan
The bacon shaking in her hand
I got hungry


Made love on the balcony
The sound of cars honking on the street

She was lovely

London never missed her

Paris never called
Nobody's wondering
If she's coming home


Smells like America
Smells like pork and beans

Smells like Jesus Christ
And the money I've never seen
But I'm an English girl

And I don't look back
Saving up for a Cadillac
Going to buy America


Sometimes, all the time
She wants what she just can't find

"When will I know?"

A Ballerina, a ticket taker

At the empty movie theatre
To the left, enjoy the show


Daddy never missed her
Mother never called
Nobody even knows

That she ever left home

Smells like America

Smells like pork and beans
Smells like a smoking gun
And Elvis Presley

I'm an English girl
And I don't look back
Saving up for a Cadillac

Going to buy America

She wants to ride the carousel

The white horse with a silver bell
Get a new tattoo
Skull and bones, purple ink

From the carny with his arm in a sling
I guess I'll get one too


London never missed her
Paris never called
Nobody even knows that she

Ever left home

Smells like America

Smells like pork and beans
Smells like Jesus Christ
And the money I've never seen

But I'm an English girl
And I don't look back
Saving up for a Cadillac

Going to buy America
