Here comes my one and only 

Talking like a starlet on a Hollywood screen 

She whispers something to me 

I hear the words but I don't know what she means 



Oh she speaks American English 

Oh don't always understand 

Though she speaks American English 

Got the language of love 

At her command 



Love travels transatlantic 

I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech 

Can't follow her semantics 

But when her body moves it's clear to me 



CHORUS 

We don't need words 

To express what is real 

We've got each other 

That says everything that we feel 



There's too much damn confusion 

With all this talking going round and round 

We'll reach our own conclusion 

We'll make connection on the common ground 



CHORUS 



She speaks American English 

She speaks the language of love 

She speaks American English 



Anchors Aweigh  (1989) 

(Gold/Gouldman) 



Eighteen 

I'd never been far from home 

A young lad seekin' destiny 

This ship 

With a hundred hands or more 

To set sail on a stormy sea 

I don't know how we can find our way 

With only the stars in the sky 

To be our guide 

I was green inside 

When I heard the captain calling 



Anchors aweigh now 

Anchors aweigh 

We're underway now 

Anchors aweigh 



I've heard tales of boats that ran aground 

Ghost ships dead in the sun 

And of men bewitched by the siren's song 

Those that died were the lucky ones 

One wave can knock a man overboard 

And in the name of the crown 

A man could drown 

I was feeling down 

When I heard the captain calling 



Anchors aweigh now 

Anchors aweigh 

We're underway now 

Anchors aweigh
