I heard Mary knockin' at my door Said she was cold and could she sleep on my floor I offered her my crown of thorns She said no thanks mister I'm not that poor You may think it funny You may think it strange But she's the queen of the U.S.A. She don't need the money She don't need the fame She's the queen of the U.S.A. She wore a leather jacket that smelled of paradise She had a tattoo of the Stars and Stripes I know that she would die to save the world Oh yeah that Mary was no ordinary girl You may think it funny You may think it strange But she's the queen of the U.S.A. She ain't got much money But she's got plenty to say Yeah she's the queen of the U.S.A. She wrapped me up in black perfume Took me to the playground of the chosen few Said don't ask me about the meaning of life I can only dig it on a real dark night You may think it funny You may think it strange But she's the queen of the U.S.A. She don't need your money She don't need the fame 'Cause she's the queen of the U.S.A. Hey the U.S.A. She's the queen of the U.S.A. She ain't got much money She's got plenty to say She's the queen of the U.S.A.
