Hey there people I'm Bobby Brown 
     Am
They say I'm the cutest boy in town 
   Dm7
My car is fast, my teeth are shiney 
  G
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heiney 

C
Here I am at the famous school
    Am
I'm dressing sharp and I'm acting cool
        Dm7
I got a cheerleader, here, wants to help with my paper 
        G           
Let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her


CHORUS1:
Chords:
F   133211    Dm7 557565
Em  022000    G   355433
Am  577555

   F
Oh God, I am the American Dream 
  Em               Am 
I do not think I'm too extreme 
          Dm7               G 
And I'm a handsome son of a bitch 

I'm gonna get a good job and be well rich
 
(get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job) 


VERSE:
Women's liberation came creeping all across the nation 
I tell you people, I was not ready 
When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddy 
 
She made a little speech then 
Uh, she tried to make me say when...
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick 
I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots too quick 
   

CHORUS2:
Oh God I am the American Dream 
But now I smell like vaseline 
I'm a miserable son of a bitch 
Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which 

(I wonder, wonder. I wonder, wonder.)


VERSE:
So I went out and bought me a leisure suit 
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute 
Got a job doing radio promo 
And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo 
 

VERSE:
Eventually me and a friend 
Sort of drifted along into S & M 
I can take about an hour on the Tower of Power 
As long as I gets a little Golden Shower
 
   
CHORUS3:
Oh God, I am the American Dream 
With a spindle up my butt 'til it makes me scream 
And I'll do anything to get ahead 
I lay awake nights saying "Thank you, Fred" 
 
   F                
Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic 
Em                       Am
Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic 
    
       F             G
And my name is Bobby Brown 
    
Watch me now, I'm going down... 
    
       F             G
And my name is Bobby Brown 
    
Watch me now, I'm going down ...
