In America you get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
Just sing about Jesus, oh yes
And drinking wine all day
It's great to be in America
Ain't no lion, no tiger
Ain't no mamba snake
Just a sweet watermelon
And a buckwheat cake
Everybody is as happy
As a man can be
Climb aboard little woman
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 happy home
And raise a family
You'll be as happy as a monkey
In a monkey tree
You all gonna be in America
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
Come and sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean
Into Charleston Bay
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean
