Sloop John B: The America Since the 90s Version

(to be sung to The Beach Boys' music from Pet Sounds)

Come on the Sloop John B

My America and me

Outside New York town we did roam

Grungin' all night

Got into a fight

I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B sail

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home

Let me go home

I wanna go home

I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

First they put on the Grunge

and Tried to sweep me away

Called themselves a gangster and tried to hijack my mind

Let me go home

I wanna go home

This is the worst mental crisis I've ever lived in

So hoist up the John B sail

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home

Let me go home

I wanna go home

I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

That's America since 1992!

God loves you!  Keep your head up!  We'll get through this!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson

P.S.    America, No

(to the music of Caroline, No)

Where did your long hair go

Where is the America I used to know

How could you lose that happy glow

America, no

Who took that look away?

I remember how you used to say

You'd never cut your hair, but that's not true

America, no

Oh, America, you break my heart

I want to go and cry

It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die

Oh, America why?

(the dogs go away on the train)

But I will keep that America alive!

It lives in David S. Annderson!
