Can a guy from anywhere
 Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire

 Only in America
 Can a kid without a cent
 Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

 Only in America
 Land of opportunity, yeah
 Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

 Only in America
 Can a kid who's washin' cars
 Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars

 Only in America
 Could a dream like this come true
 Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you

 ------ instrumental break ------

 Only in America
 Land of opportunity, yeah
 Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

 Only in America (poor boy like me)
 Only in America (only in America)
 Only in America (only in America)
 Only in America (only in America)
 Only in America (only in America)
 Only in America
