English Kids in America

Bags packed and by the door
they've been there for a week or so
Passport is looking worn
in the picture I look 12 years old
Outside the weather's cold
I'm wearing every sweater I own
It's hot there so I've been told
won't be wearing nothing at all

This is goodbye
Catching our flight tonight
Can't stay
Going away today

We'll get lost and find ourselves in a foreign land
We'll swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh, wha-wha-ohhh
We're English kids in America!"
Singing "Wha-wha-oh, wha-wha-ohhh
We're English kids in America!"

Shades and bikini babes
I'm planning on a drink or two
Hang 10 and catch some waves
I've forgotten everyone I knew

This is goodbye
Catching out flight tonight
Can't stay
Going away today

We'll get lost and find ourselves in a foreign land
We'll swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh, wha-wha-ohhh
We're English kids in America!"
Singing "Wha-wha-oh, wha-wha-ohhh
We're English kids in America!"

I've left home, you're home alone
No Wi-Fi or mobile phone
Now that the open road is all I know

I've left home, you're home alone
No Wi-Fi or mobile phone
Now that the open road is all I know

Get lost and find yourself in a foreign land
Go swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh, wha-wha-ohhh
We're English kids in America!"
Singing "Wha-wha-oh, wha-wha-ohhh
We're English kids in America!"

We're English kids in America!
We're English kids in America!
