Sail Away

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
