(verse 1)
I grew up under normal conditions,
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television,
They both were doin the best that they could,
Workin 50 hour a weeks and knockin on wood,
(verse 2)
I did my time in the public school system,
I got good grades, and never got a shred of wisdom,
Can't blame my teachers, for anything they did,
You can't teach one on one with 33 kids,
(chorus)
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,
Livin and Dyin the American way,
(verse 3)
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,
Livin and Lovin the American way,
(bridge)
These days we're thinkin about kids of our own,
Gonna turn this house into a home,
In no time at all they'll be singin along,
(chorus)
oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,
Livin and Lovin the American way,
(chorus)
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,
Livin and Dyin the American way,
Livin and Lovin the American way,
