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

I ve seen you a couple of times
Guess i ve seen you three times
Walking circles around me
When you stand in front of my eyes
I ll make sure i ll look
I ll make sure i ll look
I ll make...

Always waitin? for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain?t livin?
Bless the child that?s got his own
It?s my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let...

People say I m the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I m blue

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it s easy to trace
The tracks...

There s a road that I must go
There are short cuts that I know
But I know that we ll make it eventually
On a starlight ride

There s a fire down below
(that remains in me)
When the chilly winds will...

And my confession would have you on the floor
- if you knew the truth
But that s the way they want you -
Everyone s a sucker for the haze of youth
We re all prairie children, brought up on the lies of the past
So it s no surprise then - you will...
