  In A-merica, you'll get food to eat.

  Won't have to run through the jungle,
     D                  
 And scuff up your feet.
 D            Bm7                        E7sus4       
  You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day;

  It's great to be an American.

 A7                                 D              
  Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake.
 Bm7                         E7sus4     
  Everybody is as happy as a man can be,
 A7                               D           
  Climb aboard little wog, sail a-way with me.

  To take care of his home and his family.

  You're all gonna be an American.
