American Man lyrics

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

Who'd have thought such men existed?

Does the housework unassisted

Sweeps the floor and does the dishes

And his coffee is delicious

How he's worked, how he's persisted

Who'd have thought such men existed?

In this vast amazing land

(To Jackson)

You give hope and comfort and shelter

You give all you can

American man!

Jackson

There was never a woman who gave me a glance

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

(not understanding a word he's saying)

He has clean sheets, y'know, on his bed

Jackson

No, I never dreamed of getting this attention

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

Bet you he bakes his bread

Jackson

Unbelievable! I think they're flirting with me

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

Does he iron his shirts, can it be?

Jackson

I don't have a clue

So should I just pretend that I don't see it?

I don't know what to do

Please, tell me that I'm not mistaken

Have to say I'm shaken!

(Looking at Ulrika)

She's so attractive

Oh, I hardly dare to look

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

He can certainly cook!

Jackson

To be wanting a wife

Ulrika

Lives alone here, I'd say

Jackson

To be sharing you life

Ulrika

Guess he likes it that way

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

Who'd have thought such men existed?

Such a man can't be resisted

Not a moment does he squander

Was there ever such a wonder

Makes my eyes come up all misted

Who'd have thought such men existed?

In this vast amazing land

(To Jackson)

You give hope and comfort and shelter

You give all you can

American man!

Jackson

To be wanting a wife

Ulrika

Not a sign of a spouse

Jackson

To be sharing your life

Ulrika

It's a bachelor's house

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa

Who'd have thought such men existed?

Does the housework unassisted

Sweeps the floor and does the dishes

And his coffee is delicious

How he's worked, how he's persisted

Who'd have thought such men existed?

Doesn't fret or make a fuss

He's one of us

For men and women here now

So it would appear now

They are equals in this land

You give hope and comfort and shelter

You give all you can

American man

Jackson

Thank you God!
