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 Americaâ¦
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, butâ¦).
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 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 tehre
(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, butâ¦).
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 Americaâ¦
(I think I'd rather be in NYC)
I miss Americaâ¦
(I think I'd rather be in CA)
I miss America.
(Or, FL, even Flint, MI, Paula, s Bethlehemâ¦)
I miss America
(Anywhere but here)
I miss Americaâ¦
I miss Americaâ¦
I miss Americaâ¦
