(Original Key: )
Verse 1
In A-merica, 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.
Verse 2
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 a-way with me.
Chorus 1
Sail -way,
Sail -way.
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.
Sail -way,
Sail -way,
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.
Verse 3
In A-merica, 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.
Chorus 2
Sail -way,
Sail -way.
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.
Sail -way,
Sail -way,
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.
