If I was rich then I'd have money,
oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
I'd build a stable for my donkey,
ah -ah -ah -ah -ah -ah -ah
But taxes are so very high,
oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -o h
They make rents go up to the sky.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
The
United
States, it ain't the place
Where old
Columbus first did land.
The
English, they laid low for
blue flies.
Putnam cried out, goodbye,

If I was a soldier, I'd be some, oh,
I'd beat the fife and blow the drum, ah,
But soldiers say that fightin's funny, oh,
But when they fight, I would runny, ah,
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
The
United
States, it am,
The place where old
Columbus first did land.
The
English, they laid low for blue flies,
But none cried out,
Goodbye,
John.
The greatest man that ever lived,
oh -oh -oh -oh -oh, was
Barnum, now see what he did,

He made the ring -tailed monkey dance,
oh -oh -oh -oh
And brought a
Russian cat from
France, ah -ah -ah -ah -ah
The
United
States, it am, the place where old
Columbus first did land
The
English, they laid low for blue flies
But none cried out goodbye,
John
