if you blew in
from Boston, no, you sure won't have to wait,

about the power of
the dollar, and the people with white collars,
D7 G
and the good old American way.

noticed I don't get much help when they see my blue jeans,
G

some slick with a
suit walks up, “Oh, can I help you please?”

Yes, I'm learning, as I gain a little age,

about the power of
the dollar, and the people with white collars,
D7 G
and the good old
American way.

hell, l they are
the American way.
