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.
