Kirsty Maccoll - Sail Away lyrics

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 Everybody 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 to the Charleston Bay Sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean to 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 gonna be an American Sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean to the Charleston Bay Sail away, sail away We will cross the mighty ocean to the Charleston Bay
