I think I rather be in New York City
Where at least the cabbies notice you
(Even if it’s only half the time)
I think I rather be in California
Where no one notices anyone
(It’s OK since it’s the norm)
But I miss America
I think I’d rather be in Delhi, India
Maybe I’d look good in a saari
(And the people seem so nice)
I think I’d be Australia
I’d just wear lots of sun-creen
(No ozone? Hey, at least it’s peaceful, but)
I miss America
(I watch the news and think it’s missing me)
I miss America
(I only get what’s ss seen on TV)
I miss America
I miss America
I think I’d rather be in Pensacola
Even in the Florida hurricanes
(You’re safe with the Presbyterians there)
I think I’d rather be in Ponca City
Oklahoma is OK!
(Besides, I know someone from there)
I think I’d rather be in Venice,Italy
They’re cleaning the canals there
(Even though they’re sinking in the lagoon)
I think I’d rather be in South Africa
Maybe join the Green Peace
(And meet Nelson Mandela, but)
I miss America
(I watch the news and think it’s missing me)
I miss America
(I only get what’s As seen on TV)
I miss America
I miss America
I look around and I watch the sun go down
Over Wolfsburg
And still I can’t find one good thing
About Wolfsburg
I miss America
I miss America
(I think I’d rather be in NYC)
I miss America
(I think I’d rather be in CA)
I miss America
(Or, FL, even Flint, MI, Paula,s Bethlehem)
I miss America
(Anywhere but here)
I miss America
I miss America
I miss America
