Letra:
Sherry Bobbins: Alright, children, let's clean up this room
Bart: Aw, man
Lisa: Do we have to?
Sherry: Now, now I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast
If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run,
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job
If you cut every corner,
It is really not so bad
Everybody does it,
Even mom and dad
If nobody sees it,
Then nobody gets mad
Bart: It's the American way!
Sherry: The policeman on the beat
Needs some time to rest his feet
Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!
Sherry: And the clerk who runs the store
Can charge a little more
For meat
Apu: For meat!
Sherry: And milk
Apu: And milk!
Sherry & Apu: From 1984!
Sherry: If you cut every corner,
You'll have more time for play!
All: It's the American way!
Bart: Aw, man
Lisa: Do we have to?
Sherry: Now, now I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast
If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run,
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job
If you cut every corner,
It is really not so bad
Everybody does it,
Even mom and dad
If nobody sees it,
Then nobody gets mad
Bart: It's the American way!
Sherry: The policeman on the beat
Needs some time to rest his feet
Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!
Sherry: And the clerk who runs the store
Can charge a little more
For meat
Apu: For meat!
Sherry: And milk
Apu: And milk!
Sherry & Apu: From 1984!
Sherry: If you cut every corner,
You'll have more time for play!
All: It's the American way!
