Letra de
Breakfast in America

La canción Breakfast in America fue compuesta por Roger Hodgson y Rick Davies. La pista, que forma parte del álbum del mismo nombre lanzado por la banda Supertramp en 1979, habla de manera satírica sobre el deseo de visitar los Estados Unidos. La inspiración vino de Hodgson, quien reflexionó sobre su propia vida y sueños.

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
'Cause everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do, hey

Ba ba da dum, ba ba, da-d' do da do da do
Ba ba da dum, ba ba, da-d' do da do da do
La la la, la la la, la la la laaaaaaaa

Don't you look at my girlfriend, girlfriend
'Cause she's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend, girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot - What's she got? Not a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do, hey

Ba ba da dum, ba ba, da-d' do da do da do
Ba ba da dum, ba ba, da-d' do da do da do
Hey u-um, hey u-um, hey u-um, hey u-um
Hey u-um, hey u-um, hey u-um, hey u-um
La la la, la la la, la la la la
