If you strive to go far,
Aim to be a world star...
Sing in grand op-era
Doh-Ray-Me-Fah-So-Lah
Make your name ring with fame
Till they know who you are ?...
Better first go down big... in A-MER-ICA...!
Want to market a car ?...
Tickle keys in a bar ?...
Package sun in a jar
Or some product bizarre...
A new jock-strap, chest-hair wig
Or throw-away bra ?...
You'll do best to head west... for A-MER-ICA... !
If you talk Lah-di-dah
Bellow - Hip-Hip - Hoorah !"
Proudly bearing a scar
Like some dashing Hussar
In old black-and-white movies,
Ma thought looked like Pa...
There's a place for your face ... in A-MER-ICA... !
If you're air is bizzare
Not just funny, "Ha-Ha"
Truly pee-culi-ar
You shout "Bother" - and - "Bah"
Much more"Darling" than snarling -
Less "Gertchya" ! - than "Yah" !...
They'll just flock, for your stock... in A-MER-ICA... !
Yes, whoever you are
Whether King, Queen or Zahr
Wept for Princess Di-nah
Maybe throned like a Shah
Silk adorned, sipping tea
From a gold samovar...
Life's as good as it gets... in A-MER-ICA... !
But if you've got no cred',
Live in hopes that are dead
Share a book with your bed
Fly balloons made of lead
Prefer dead-ducks to big-bucks,
Small-potatoes instead...
You'll find the climate's more cool in BRIT-ANNI-YA !
