Sail Away Lyrics

...SAIL AWAY... by Randy Newman
*from 'Sail Away' (1972)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: F)
Verse 1:
In A-merica 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 a-way with me.
Chorus 1:
Sail a-way,
Sail a-way,
We will cross the mighty ocean,
Into Charleston Bay.
Sail a-way,
Sail a-way,
We will cross the mighty ocean,
Into Charleston Bay.
Verse 2:
In A-merica 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.
Be an American.
Chorus 2:
Sail a-way,
Sail a-way,
We will cross the mighty ocean,
Into Charleston Bay.
Sail a-way,
Sail a-way,
We will cross the mighty ocean,
Into Charleston Bay.
