I am not American,
Though I live in North America
Which is part of the Americas
Which should make me an American
verse 2: (Same chords as verse 1)
They're out in the middle of the Ocean
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
Or even virgins
How did two whole continents,
Lose their name to one constituent?
Where were we when the U.S. went,
And took the word American away?
But to be fair to them,
We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!
I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
A name meant for two continents not just them
For if I said I was American,
People would probably think I came from Maine
Still I think I have a plan,
Let's become Antarctican,
And join up with the penguins
For just like them, we're not American!
