Lyrics

In America you'll get food to eat You 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 sweet watermelon And buckwheat cake Everybody is as happy as a man can be Climb aboard, little one, 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 Take care of his home and his family You'll be 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 We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay You'll get food to eat Sail away, 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 Won't have to scuff up your feet anymore Ain't no jungle on this far and distant shore
