Merely trying to survive
 Took my knapsack in my hand
 Caught a train for Switzerland

 America  America
 God shed his grace on Thee
 You have whipped the Fliipino
 Now you rule the Western Sea

 Americans dream of gypsies, I have found
 And gypsy knives and gypsy thighs
 That pound and pound and pound and pound
 And African appendages that almost reach the ground
 And little boys playing baseball in the rain

 America, America
 Step out into the light
 You're the best dream man has ever dreamed
 And may all your Christmases be white
