Watch him much younger, Breakfast in America, in concert with Supertramp.
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seemed to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hopin' it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do.
Yeah
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
'Cos everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph?
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothin' better to do
Yeah
Babadatam a dabdaban doo-dee-down dee-down
Babadatam a dabdaban doo-dee-down dee-down
Na na na, nana na na na nana
Don't you look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
Sing it!
Pababadow a papada doo-dee-down dee-down
Pababadow a papada doo-dee-down dee-down
Hey aham, hey aham
Hey aham, hey aham
Hey aham, hey aham
Hey aham, hey aham
Na na na, nana na na na nana
The lyrics tell about a person who has never been to America and fantasises about it, and that was really the case for him when he first wrote it. The boy dreams of going to America and becoming famous, and this song helped him achieve just that.
