In America you get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
Just sing about Jesus ... awh ... yeah ...
Drinkin' wine all day
It's great to be in America

Ain't no lion, no tiger, ain't no mamba snake
Just a sweet watermelon
And a buckwheat cake
Everybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard little woman 
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 happy home
And raise a family
You'll be as happy as a monkey
In a monkey tree-eee
Y'all gonna be in America

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.

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, come an' sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean ...
