In America you'll get food to eat
|
Won't have to run through the jungle
|
And scuff up your feet
|
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
|
It's great to be an American
|
|
Ain't no lions or tigers-ain't no mamba snake
|
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
|
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
|
Climb aboard, little wog-sail away with me
|
|
Sail away-sail away
|
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
|
Sail away-sail away
|
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
|
|
In America every man is free
|
To take care of his home and his family
|
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
|
You're all gonna be an American
|
|
Sail away-sail away
|
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
|
Sail away-sail away
|
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
|
