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
Everybody 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
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
