(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)
well I found the one, we put some rooms down,
Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town,
Now we BBQ every Fourth of July,
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky,


(chorus)
                             
And it s oohh - oohh I m doin alright,

These days we re thinkin about kids of our own,
