Oh look away, look away, look away! Look away, look away, It's a lovely day today in the USA. Like a great big strawberry short-cake, Or a turkey on Thanksgiving Day Like the Fourth of July or apple pie, It's strictly USA. Like a hotdog covered with mustard, Or an amateur hometown maid, Like a circus parade or lemonade, It's strictly USA. Go to a picnic, go to clambake, Go to a bar tent, or county fair, You'll be the happy resident, Maybe get to be the future president, Take a man like Abraham Lincoln, Take a state like I-O-Way Take a sugar-cured ham, a candied yam, Or take your favorite Uncle Sam, And shout a big hooray, it's strictly USA. You never can know a country Till you know the folks, see them In their own native locales. If you wanna see young acorns Growing into oaks, you gotta See the fellas and gals. And inspecting extra special, A bunch of merchandise, The all-American Cow wins the prize. Your All-American man is nice young man, He is a handy man in a pinch, Maybe he can't make love Like a clam who can, Till he gets his gal in a clinch. All-American Man may not get what he wants, For the All-American Girl wears the pants. Like the flag on the little red schoolhouse Like the ball on election day, Like a brass spittoon, and Daniel Boone, It's strictly USA. That is to say Bud! Down South it's hi-all, Cowboys say Howdy, Indians say How No matter where you're meeting folks. It's the real American way of greeting folks. Bring your gal to the rodeo in Reno Or to the beach in Chesapeake Bay Like the ice cream cones, or Casey Jones, Like Mr. Tambo and Mr. Bones They're really here to stay, but strictly USA.
