(Skaith/Jones)  What's keeping the White House white  Is it chalk, is it fog, is it fear  Are they staying up most of the night  Sending somebody out for a beer  Is it bedtime for Bonzo, is it time for a change  Is it flavour-free TV dinners  It's a hard thing to take, when they make a mistake  America for beginners  The sound of a bell with a crack  Even the swingers are swinging right  The vigilantes are on their way back  With prime time fight, the good fight  What a start to the day, it starts three times with a K  There's no sponsored hour for sinners  They'll bring back the hot seat, turn up the heat  America for beginners  That's America for, America for beginners  That's America for, America for beginners  That's America for, America for beginners  That's America for beginners  You wear designer jeans after dark  Your shirts are short cut, in satin  But watch out for Central Park  The apartment's in uptown Manhattan  It's a sign of the times  You'd better stay out in front  They've only got time for winners  Just keep living for fun, you son of a gun  In America for beginners  That's America for, America for beginners  That's America for, America for beginners  That's America for, America for beginners  That's America for beginners  Everywhere the stripes and stars  Men in dark suits and unmarked cars  Sipping Jack Daniels in Third World bars  We're close to the edge, as close as we can get  We're as close as we can get  Toyah Willcox - verbals  Frank Ricotti - percussion  Ian Wherry - all keyboards  John Kirby - backing vocals  Toyah Willcox - backing vocals  Linda Taylor - backing vocals  Chris Neil - backing vocals
