In America, you get food to eat
|
You 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 mama snake
|
Just a sweet watermelon and buckwheat cake
|
|
Everybody is as happy as a man can be
|
Climb aboard, little one
|
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
|
Take care of his home and his family
|
You'll be 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
|
|
You'll get food to eat
|
Sail away, 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
|
|
Won't have to scuff up your feet anymore
|
Ain't no jungle on this far and distant shore
|
