I Love American Music - Cherry Poppin' Daddies

I school 'em every chance I get

If they don’t like it they’re all wet

I’m a soft-eyed lover, swing time drummer

To rhythm I was born and bred

I’ve followed where it’s led

I’ve wallowed and I’ve bled but

All it’s given is one room livin' and

Sufferin' appalling debt

As the years go by Yeah, my insight flowers

When that nightclub saxophone

Cuts a thousand years of cigar sour

Play it, play it again, Sam

I want American music

I need American music

I love American music

Nasty rockin' on an Ozark porch

My savior rattlin' in a Baptist church

Field hand hollers, slave ship collars

I’m carrying my brother’s torch

When the lights go down

And my scales stop showin'

I’ll smash my fingers down

On the only truth that’s still worth knowin'

Play it, play it again, Sam

I want American music

I need American music

I love American music

When the lights go down

And my scales stop showin'

I’ll smash my fingers down

On the only truth that’s still worth knowin'

Play it, play it again, Sam

I want American music

I need American music

I love American music
