it's a lovely day today in the U .S .A.
Like a great big strawberry shortcake,
or a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
Like the Fourth of July, or Apple Pie,
Like a hot dog covered with mustard,
or an amateur hometown play.
Like a circus parade, or lemonade,
it's straight to the U .S .A.
Go to a picnic, go to a clamping,
You'll see the happy residents,
Take a man like Abraham Lincoln.
Or take your favorite Uncle Sam.
You never can know a country

or a boat on election day.
Like a brass picture, or Daniel Boone,

Take an oyster from Chesapeake Bay,
Take our ice cream cones,
Take Mr. Tambo and Mr. Bones.
They're really here to stay,
cause it's the King, U .S .A.
