I Love America

When I first came to Manhattan

I was not surprised

The stories people had told me

Turned out to be no lies

All the different people

From all over the world, they're living

And magic fills the air

There's music everywhere

I love America

I love America

I love America, America

When I first heard funky music

It just blew my mind

The funky music was so good

I'd play it all the time

All the funky rhythms

Going all through my mind and body

They make me have to move

You can't escape the groove

I love America

I love America

I love America, America

Everywhere funky music fills the air

You can go to the disco and you'll find it there

Funky music is music with so much to share

I love America, I love America

I love America

(I love, I love, I love America)

I love America

(I love, I love, I love America)

I love America

(New York City, funky music)

I love America

(I love, I love, I love America)

I love America

(I love, I love, I love America)

I love America

(San Francisco, California)
