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

Ain´t no lions or tigers-ain´t no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev´rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog-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
