Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nWho’d have thought such men existed?
\nDoes the housework unassisted
\nSweeps the floor and does the dishes
\nAnd his coffee is delicious
\nHow he’s worked, how he’s persisted
\nWho’d have thought such men existed?
\nIn this vast amazing land
\n(To Jackson)
\nYou give hope and comfort and shelter
\nYou give all you can
\nAmerican man<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nThere was never a woman who gave me a glance<\/p>\n

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\n(not understanding a word he’s saying)
\nHe has clean sheets, y’know, on his bed<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nNo, I never dreamed of getting this attention<\/p>\n

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nBet you he bakes his bread<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nUnbelievable! I think they’re flirting with me<\/p>\n

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nDoes he iron his shirts, can it be?<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nI don’t have a clue
\nSo should I just pretend that I don’t see it?
\nI don’t know what to do<\/p>\n

Please, tell me that I’m not mistaken
\nHave to say I’m shaken!
\n( Looking at Ulrika )
\nShe’s so attractive
\nOh, I hardly dare to look<\/p>\n

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nHe can certainly cook!<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nTo be wanting a wife<\/p>\n

Ulrika<\/strong>
\nLives alone here, I’d say<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nTo be sharing your life<\/p>\n

Ulrika<\/strong>
\nGuess he likes it that way<\/p>\n

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nWho’d have thought such men existed?
\nSuch a man can’t be resisted
\nNot a moment does he squander
\nWas there ever such a wonder
\nMakes my eyes come up all misted
\nWho’d have thought such men existed?
\nIn this vast amazing land
\n( To Jackson )
\nYou give hope and comfort and shelter
\nYou give all you can
\nAmerican man<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nTo be wanting a wife<\/p>\n

Ulrika<\/strong>
\nNot a sign of a spouse<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nTo be sharing your life<\/p>\n

Ulrika<\/strong>
\nIt’s a bachelor’s house<\/p>\n

Kristina, Ulrika, Elin & Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nWho’d have thought such men existed?
\nDoes the housework unassisted
\nSweeps the floor and does the dishes
\nAnd his coffee is delicious
\nHow he’s worked, how he’s persisted
\nWho’d have thought such men existed?
\nDoesn’t fret or make a fuss
\nHe’s one of us
\nFor men and women here now
\nSo it would appear now
\nThey are equals in this land
\nYou give hope and comfort and shelter
\nYou give all you can
\nAmerican man!<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/strong>
\nThank you God!<\/p>\n
