In America you get food to eat
Don't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You 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
So climb aboard, little wog
And 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
