Sail Away |
| 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 |
| We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay |
| Sail away, sail away |
| We will cross the mighty ocean into the 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, an American |
| Now c’mon and sail away, sail away |
| We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay |
| C’mon and sail away, sail away |
| We will cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay |
| Sail away, sail away, sail away |
| We will cross Charleston Bay |
| Now sail away, sail away, sail away |
| We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay |
| Sail away, sail away |
| We gonna cross the mighty ocean into the Charleston Bay |
| Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away |
| We gonna cross it, we gonna cross that bay |
| Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away, sail, sail |
