Sail Away
In America you'll get food to eat
Don'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
Why don't you sail away - sail away
Because I know we will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Hey, hey, sail away - sail away
Oh, yes, sail away
Lord, would you, please, let us cross
Through that mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
Yes, and he can take care of his home and his family
And you'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
So sail away - sail away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sail away - sail away
I believe you'll cross this mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
And, Lord, if we can see the way
Sail away - sail away
Oh, Lord, let us cross through this ocean into Charleston Bay
