typical self-made american - 1990 studio cast of strike up the band lyrics

[fletcher]
while other lads were trying out the bicycle
or pitching pennies on the parlor floor
their pleasures left me colder than an icicle
for i knew what i was predestined for

[yes men]
yes, he knew what he was predestined for

[fletcher]
i got a job and worked both day and night at it
i watched the cheese but never watched the clock
the big boss thought i was so very bright at it
that when he died he left me all the stock
i was there when opportunity came to knock

[jim]
like the hero in an alger novel
he was born and brought up in a hovel

[fletcher]
though i often had to face disaster
i would always prove myself the master

[yes men]
he would always prove himself the master
[fletcher]
i’m a man of very quick decision
for i always had the gift of vision

[jim]
he upholds the country’s constitution
and he hates the russian revolution

[yes men]
how he hates the russian revolution!
he upholds the country’s laws
because, because, because, because

[fletcher]
i am a typical self*made american
i’ve been a go*getter ever since life began
in a modest way, i feel
i am basically sound
with my shoulder to the wheel
and my two feet on the ground

[fletcher, jim & yes men]
i am / he is a typical, typical, typical self*made american

[fletcher]
from the lowest of the ranks i’ve risen
[jim]
now both honor and success are his’n

[fletcher]
always fighting for the small consumer

[jim]
and now tell ’em of your sense of humor

[yes men]
of your devastating sense of humor

[fletcher]
i’m a mason and an elk and woodman

[jim]
which unquestionably shows a good man

[fletcher]
i’ve been very good to dear old mother

[yes men]
so we’ll never work for any other
we don’t care to work for any other
and we give him our applause
because, because, because, because
he is a typical self*made american
[fletcher]
with wheat cakes for breakfast, corn flakes and lots of bran
i’m as good a man, i feel
as a ruler who is crowned
with my shoulder to the wheel
and my two feet on the ground

[fletcher, jim & yes men]
i am / he is a typical, typical, typical self*made american!
