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.
Everything's 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.
