Sail Away Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

written by Randy Newman 

In America you get food to eat 

Don't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet 

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 snake 

Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake 

Everybody is as happy as a man can be 

So climb aboard little wog and 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 

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 American

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay 

Sail away 

Sail away 

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
