American Boys from What Sells by Elijah Cash

American Boys

Stella, I’ve never been with a foreign girl.
I don’t know what you’ve felt, what you’ve learned.
But we American boys have a few talents of our own;
darling, I’ll show you when we get back home.
I can show you what American boys are good for:
a laugh, a dinner, a show, and a moan.
We American boys have a few tricks up our sleeves,
and I can show you, darling; it’d be so easy.

Stella, I know you won’t regret one night with me.
In fact, you’ll probably beg for more.
I plan to leave you begging for more of that American boy.

Yeah, let me whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
You’ll laugh at my accent, but it’ll make you warm.
We American boys know how to use our words;
like keys, turning, turning you on.
These hands of mine are bruised and broken from years of work;
but they can be gentle when the job demands.
American boys know how to use their bodies;
and, darling, I know how to use yours!
