In America you get food to eat Won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet No, 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 snakes Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake Everybody is happy as a man, as a man can be Climb aboard, little wog, sail away with me
Now c'mon and sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay Sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean into the 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, an American
Now c'mon and sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay C'mon and sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away, sail away We will cross Charleston Bay Now sail away, sail away, sail away We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away We gonna cross it, we gonna cross that bay Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail, sail
