Tonart: F major
Verse 1
Bm
from jolly old England,
A
D
far across the sea
Bm
And we couldn't wait to
get to our first dance
E
A
here in the colonies
D
We expected to see the Virginia Reel
G
and the Washington Minuet
A
D
But the sight of our first
G
A
We shall not soon forget
D
They were doin' the fruit
They were doin' the swim
They were doin' the jerk
D
E
A
So much a prize
D
We got a whole lotta fun
G
And a little, little romance
D
Bm
To a little love
G
A
D
F
G
A
I wonder
D
Bm
if I'd have any trouble
G
A
talking the American way
D
Bm
I saw a pretty bird and moved up to meet
E
A
her wondering what to say
D
How about the music began
and a thousand guitars
G
was all that could be heard
D
And the song that they played
Bm
said all that I wanted without
G
A
D
G
one single word
D
G
They were doin' the fruit,
D
they were doin' the swim
They were doin' the jerk
G
D
and the monkey too,
E
A
so I jumped right in
D
We had a whole lot of fun
D
Bm
G
We were livin' our lives as
A
D
F
Bb
A
American men
D
Bm
When we go away to far distant countries
G
A
We shall not soon forget
D
All the fun that we had
E
And the people who we met
A
D
Every song was better,
every dance was greater
G
Than the one that came before
D
Bm
Most of all, the American girls
G
A
D
had more, more, more
When they were doing the food
G
D
They were doing the swim
They were doing the jerk
D
E
A
So I jumped on in
D
We had a whole lot of fun
D
Bm
You had it all right
G
A
D
I'm just a man who can dance
They were doin' the blues
G
They were doin' the stunts
D
They were doin' that great
D
A
So I jumped right in
D
We had a whole lot of fun
D
Bm
Even then it don't last
D
Wie hat dir der Song gefallen?
