William Elliott)
There you go, here I am

Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Must you go, why can't you stay?

Your dreams will all come true one-by-one
Wait awhile, I'll help you by
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?

Tell me, have you seen it all?
Found what you've been searchin' for?
Ever wish that you were back home?
Will they keep hold of you?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
Stateside Girl, why not?
