Sail Away Lyrics

Artist: Randy Newman
Album: Sail Away

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
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard little wog sail away with me

CHORUS
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

CHORUS

Comments/Interpretations
by mr norrell on 7/8/2008 11:21pm The last line of the third verse should read "You're all gonna be in America."
by pj larson on 7/22/2008 12:27pm its about slaves
by george on 12/2/2008 9:45pm If you want to get "picky" there are not tigers in Africa. He should have used "lions or cheetahs"... Since the song is nearly 40 years old - I'm sure he's been told this.
