Damn Yankees
Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent
Hey brother
Ready for Another
Dose of my Yankee Pride
In the jungle
Ya just might stumble
Onto something that you never tried
Got that right
There was trouble in the east
Worry in the west
Till the wall came tumblin' down
Shift in the sand
Rockets to the madman
Haven't heard a sound
You don't have to worry
Help is on the way
We don't need no "thank you, ma'am"
We know what they're gonna say
(They say) Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, Oh, Oh, Damn Yankee
(How we doin')
Now I say what I want
And I do what I want
And I go where I want to go
Ain't no strong man
Safe from the hang man
Baby, now, don't ya know
If you need assitance
I'll be on the way
Run into a little resistance
Ya know what they're gonna say
(They say) Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, oh, oh, Damn Yankee
Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
[guitar solo]
They landed at Plymouth Rock
The kids was ready to roll
Greasy dictator down south of us *
Lost all control *
He didn't have time to see me
He didn't have time to thank me
Suck on the barrel of my hot shotgun
Smile when you say "Damn Yankee"
Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, oh, oh, Damn Yankee
Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, oh, oh, Damn Yankee
Damn Yankee
Damn Yankee
*Lyric changes in the live version on the Uprising tour:
Greasy little sucker down south of us
The motherf***er lost all control
