United Steaks amerikansk version by Shu-bi-dua Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1977

[Verse 1]
I've been to China, sat in Mao's chair, man
Crossed the bay of [?] in [?] force ten
Fidel Castro said, "Why don't you come and curl on my hair, man?"
And the zar of Russia wants to [?] the bag again

[Chorus 1]
But Saturday night in Istanbul in a box of Turkish delight
My four-track [?] hoster said
"Do you know where you should be tonight?"
United Steaks

[Verse 2]
I jumped right up from the chocolate seat that I sat in
Called a taxi and started facing the facts
I jumped a jumbo and landed right in Manhattan
I hate to pay that [?] airport tax, wah-ooh, ooh

[Chorus 2]
Look at the buildings they got over here
They'll leave you high and dry
8,000 steps if you wanna go up
And on the [?] you can see the sky
In United Steaks
[Bridge]
[?] cake, Coca-Cola
King-size menu, cigars
If you are broke use pistolas
They make the prettiest scars

[Interlude]
Good evening. This is the 37th time I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this Nation. Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter that I believe affected the national interest
In all the decisions I have made in my public life, I have always tried to do what was best for the Nation

[Verse 3]
Wandering around in the United Steaks for an hour
The dollars are rolling in and your mind's rolling out
If you're staying in line, yeah, you could buy the tower of power
And if you stay here forever you will end up eating sauerkraut

[Chorus 3]
Wait 'til [?] man
Where the T-bones [?] are like
And 30 channels on the color TV
I'll tell you, man, it's out of sight
In United Steaks

[Outro]
Sennep, sennep
Ketchup, ketchup
Peanut, peanut
Donut, donut
