American Express by Frightwig Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1986

[Intro]
I don’t care if you don’t believe me
All I know is, was on the Reeperbahn
Y’know, the Beatles played there in the 60s
I went out to a discotheque dancing
And I don’t know what happened
I, my vacation has been ruined
I watched TV, and you see you’re in the jungle
You lose your checks, you go to the nearest hut
They replace them
That’s what I was told
That’s why I bought American Express
([?])

[Verse 1]
I’m waiting for my American X-Press
They don’t believe me but I lost my chеcks
It was down in Hamburg on the Reeperbahn
I turned around and my chеcks were gone
You know that place where The Beatles played
Anyway, check it out, it happened this way
([?])
[Verse 2]
Met a guy named Eddy in Old West Berlin
He had some speed and a Mercedes Benz
Took a little ride through the D.D.R
But on the way, something happened to his car
Half way there the car went dead
And he turned to us and he said (he said)
“Oh, what a horror show to breakdown in the D.D.R!”
([?])

[Verse 3]
We went to Hamburg, was quite a test
I changed my ‘D.M.’s for American X-Press
Had a little party on the Reeperbahn
I turned around and my checks were gone
I called them up, they wouldn’t believe it
Don’t they know we’re American royalty?
([?])
