For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassion’d stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness. America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Mr. Tomorrow
1. You know me by now, you’ve got to believe You’re the number-one girl in the world for me.

Can’t she be patient, it won’t be so bad? But sometimes she thinks, falling under his sway, She got Mr. Tomorrow; she wants Mr. Today. 2. Love that new dress, you’re looking real hot. Let’s go out dancing. Oh, wait, I forgot. Me and my buddy, we got something to do. But next week, I promise, it’s just me and you. Chorus. 3. Hey, I hardly know her, she’s only a friend. We’ve had lunch once or twice and that was the end. I wouldn’t have left that receipt in my pants With something to hide. Why would I take that chance? Chorus. 4. What happened last night, I was a fool. I didn’t mean it, I was in a bad mood. I won’t drink again, I promise, you’ll see. To think that I hit you-you know that’s not me. Chorus. 5. Sure, I want babies, I swear that it’s true: Pretty girls growing up to look just like you. But waiting a while-that’s what I’d prefer Until we’re both ready, what can it hurt? Chorus. I’m in the Mood (for Rock ’n’ Roll)
