Single Bilingual

They call this a community
I like to think of it as home
Arriving at the airport

Travelling in business class
This is the name of the game
I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual
I come to the community
From U.K. p.l.c.
Arriving at my hotel

I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual
In Brussels, Bonn or Barcelona

Disneyland and

was a flashing red light
at the intersection of Highways 20 & 83

I grew up in a community that was bilingual. I've done it for a while, singing in both languages.

I came here when I was almost 22. I'm perfectly bilingual, but I'm never going to sound like Sandra Bullock.

Foreign languages are another favourite topic, and as these men are bilingual they have a fair notion of what it means to speak and think in many different idioms.

My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America's strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds.
