[Verse 3] You don’t have to pay them that much (crawling to the USA) You had better bring bring your lunch (crawling to the USA) It’s undercover around the houses up your skirt and down your trousers [Chorus] (You had better not go too far) There?s one way out there?s on-ly one way (Leave your mother and your father) Crawling to the U - S - A.
