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
