Bilingual
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
ย
Ain't no lions, no tigers, ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Everybody's as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wad, sail away with me
Sail away, sail away
ย
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 happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You oughta 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
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean
Into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean
