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
  Ev'rybody 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
