I've tried every conceivable pill  to stop me from getting so ill  but when the ship starts to rock n roll  I've got to reach for me medical bowl  And it would take a magical potion  to carry me across the Atlantic ocean  it's no good you saying it's quicker by air  I'd be very much sicker if I went up there.  I'd like to see America  the President and his Cadillac car.  Everythings fine in America  but I don't think that I'll get that far  'cause it would take a magical potion  to carry me across the Atlantic ocean  no good you saying it's quicker by air  I'd be sicker if I went up there.  Everything in America's fine  the Coca Cola and the Neon sign  Broadway is the place for me  though it's a place that I'll never be  I'd like to go to California  put some flowers in my hair  I'd like to go to Hollywood  see the film-stars if I only could  But it would take a magical potion  to carry me across the Atlantic ocean  no good you saying it's quicker by air  I know I'd be sicker if I went up there.
