Текст песни I Miss America (Live) - Live - Harry Chapin
By
the
time
I
was
thirteen
I
started
takin′
shape
At
eighteen
I
was
so
beautiful
that
the
strangers
started
to
gape
They
told
me
enter
the
ultimate
contest
If
you're
as
gorgeous
as
you
seem
They
said,
"Please,
please,
please
be
our
American
dream"
But
late
that
night
beneath
the
grievin′
moon
There's
a
dazzling
sight
in
my
motel
room
For
a
grunting
judge
with
his
bulging
eyes
I
give
my
all
for
his
cherished
prize
Oh
why,
oh
why?
I,
I
Miss
America
crying
on
TV
Silver
clad
in
satin
rags
But
everything's
where
it
should
be
Oh
say,
can
you
see?
Oh
say,
can
you
see?
After
they
showed
me
the
game
ball
they
told
me
put
on
weight
They
told
me
I′d
be
so
powerful,
then
they
told
me
I
would
be
great
They
told
me
Uncle
Sam
he
would
coach
you,
his
helmet
on
your
head
And
they
said,
"Please,
please,
please,
please
Please
win
and
beat
the
spread"
But
the
new
game
plan
that
the
owners
had
made
Meant
that
win
or
lose
there
would
be
a
little
trade
For
the
team′s
become
a
real
gold
mine
And
the
kid's
sold
off
for
the
bottom
line
Oh
why,
oh
why?
Mr.
America
sweating
on
TV
The
winner′s
joy
from
the
battered
boy
For
everything's
where
it
should
be
Oh
say
can,
you
see?
Oh
say,
can
you
see?
At
last
we′ve
come
together,
call
it
marriage
or
civil
war
If
it
brings
us
to
battle,
babe,
it
must
be
worth
our
fighting
for
Though
today
came
up
cloudy,
there
will
be
other
days
Oh,
please,
please,
please,
please
What
else
is
there
to
say?
But
in
plywood
spread,
by
a
plastic
stream
And
in
separate
beds
with
a
borrowed
dream
And
with
questions
wide,
the
silence
deep
We
take
two
pills
so
at
last
we'll
sleep
Oh
why,
oh
why?
Mr.
and
Mrs.
America,
our
story′s
on
TV
Can
you
hear
canned
laughter?
For
everything's
where
it
should
be
Oh
say,
can
you
see?
Oh
say,
can
you
see?
My
little
boy
he
told
me
something
just
the
other
night.
He
whispered
it
as
I
kissed
him
before
I
turned
out
the
light
And
of
course
he
said
it
simple
as
only
children
can
He
said,
"Daddy,
daddy,
daddy,
please
I'm
ready
to
dream
again"
