It's Hard To Make Love To An American

It's hard to make love in this city
 With your free-loading family around
 With your momma and your daddy
 And your sister who's so chatty
 Watching every move I take
 And your auntie who's so batty
 Grabs every buck I make
 And your uncle in that ratty
 Jacket'd be rich by now if only had he
 Taken my advice
 And stayed out of the light
 It's hard to make it with you
 And to not make a sound
 It's hard to make love in this American town
 Good night to Philadelphia
 Good night to New Orleans
 Good night to Minneapolis
 Chicago and D.C.
 It's hard to make it with you
 And to not get real loud
 It's hard to make love in this American town
 Hey hey, hey hey
 Baby likes to make it near the water
 With the fishmongers all looking on
 She got one foot in the skiff
 One foot on the shore
 My left hand's up her skirt
 And my right hand pulls the oar
 Rowing 'round and around
 And around and around
 It's hard to make love in this seaside town
 Good night to Portland, Oregon
 Great Lakes, Illinois
 Providence, Rhode Island
 Good night to all the boys
 In Mystic and Waukegan
 Sturgeon Bay and Puget Sound
 It's hard to make love in this American town
 Hey hey, hey hey
 Meet me, baby, out near the grinder
 Be easier to want you if you're drunk
 Get your junk upon my bunk
 Put one foot on my trunk
 Keep one foot on the floor
 Press your palm against the door
 Before my duty calls
 Before the sentry comes
 Help me get the blousing
 On my boots undone
 'Cause it's hard to make love with these fatigues on
 Good night to Camp Felton
 Good night to Camp Lejeune
 Good night to Fort Leavenworth
 And Quantico too
 Good night, fair times
 Farewell, rich men
 It's hard to make love to an American
 Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
 Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
 Good night to Philadelphia
 Good night to New Orleans
 Good night to the Upper Mississippi River Valley
 Good night and fair times
 Got my head bowed down
 It's hard to make love to an American now
 It's hard to make love to an American now
 It's hard to make love to an American
 It's hard to make love to an American
