From the icy cliffs of Iceland

I've traveled o'er the land

Through the darkness of Greenland

To the islands of Japan

I've met with many people

All kinds of them you see

But I'd rather have America

My homeland where I'm free

I've seen the hot Pacific

The ocean wide and deep

I've been in ol Korea with

It's mud up to my knees

I've walked the streets of China

Seen all there is to see

But I'd rather have America

My homeland where I'm free

I've sailed the wide Atlantic

To France and Germany

The beauty there in Paris

Just didn't mean a thing to me

I made my way to England and on to Italy

Cause I'd rather have America

My homeland where I'm free

And Iceland have it's icy cliffs

And forty five below

And Greenland keep it's darkness

And the freezing winds that blow

Don't put me off in China or

Kerea's muddy land

Let Paris keep her beauty

And the islands of Japan

I don't want Germany or France or Italy

I'd rather have America

My homeland where I'm free

I'd rather have America

My homeland where I'm free
