//We'll save Australia// //Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo// //We'll build an All American amusement park there// //They got surfin', too//

//Boom goes London and boom Paris// //More room for you and more room for me// //And every city the whole world round// //Will just be another American town// //Oh, how peaceful it will be// //We'll set everybody free// //You'll wear a Japanese kimono babe// //And there'll be Italian shoes for me//

//They all hate us anyhow// //So let's drop the big one now// //Let's drop the big one now//
