Little girl in a brand new car
Top down and singing with her favorite star
She eats American pie with a silver spoon

​

Competition in the marketplace
Not what you know, but your pretty face
Between the ads and the hype

It's still rock and roll

​

What do you want
Something for nothing?
Someone's got to pay the man
Nothing's free but you can listen to
Radio American

​

Johnny got himself a new guitar
Got some dream about going far
Who knows, maybe he'll make it

​

Dedicate a song to the one you love
Sentimental motives aren't good enough
It's a way to make money for RCA
