Lyrics

[Intro]

Shake, shake, shake

Shake, shake, shake

Shake, shake, shake

[Verse 1]

Oh, I don't know, I don't know

Oh, where to begin

We are North Americans

And for those of you who still think we're from England

We're not, no

We've been on planes and on trains till we think we might die

Far from North America

Where the buildings are old, and you might have lots of mimes

Uh-huh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

I hate the feelin' when you're lookin' at me that way

'Cause we're North Americans

But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay

Makes it go away

Oh, I don't know, I don't know

Oh, where to begin

When we're North Americans

But in the end, we make the same mistakes all over again

Come on, North Americans

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are North American scum (Ah-ah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're from North America

North America

Shake, shake, shake

[Verse 3]

And all the kids, all the kids don't wanna make a scene

Here in North America

When all your kids get to read it in your magazines

We don't have those

So where's the love? Where's the love? Where's the love?

Where's the love? Where's the love, tonight?

But there's no love, man

There's no love when the kids are uptight, uh, uh

[Verse 4]

So throw a party till the cops come in and bust it up

Let's go, North Americans

Oh, you were planning it? I didn't mean to interrupt, sorry

I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

Freaked out in North America

But then I said, "The more I do it, the better it gets"

C'mon, North Americans

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are North American scum (Ah-ah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're from North America

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are North American scum (Ah-ah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are North Americans

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are North American scum

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We love North America

[Outro]

Take me back to the states, man

North American scum (Ah-ah)

Where we can be North Americans

Where the DJ gigs all his friends

Here in North American scum (Ah-ah)

Just don't blame the Canadians

Let's go, North America

[Outro]

North American scum

North America

North American scum
