Lyrics

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)
Sail away (sail away)
We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Sail away (sail away)
Sail away (sail away)
We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
In America every man is free, yeah
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, yeah
C'mon and now, sail away (sail away)
Sail away (sail away)
We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Come on and sail away (sail away)
Sail away (sail away)
We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Sail away (sail away)
Sail away (sail away)
Ooh, sail away
We will cross Charleston Bay
Now sail away, sail away, sail away
We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Ooh, sail away (Sail away)
Sail away (Sail away)
We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay
Sail away (Sail away)
Ooh, sail away, sail away, sail away (Sail away)
Oh, we gonna cross it, we gonna cross that bay (Sail away)
Sail away (Sail away)
Sail away, sail away (Sail away)
Sail away
Sail
Away
