America Is A Gun

AMERICA IS A GUN

England is a cup of tea
France, a wheel of ripened brie
Greece, a short, squat olive tree
America is a gun.

Brazil is football on the sand
Argentina, Maradona's hand
Germany, an oompah band
America is a gun.

Holland is a wooden shoe
Hungary, a goulash stew
Australia, a kangaroo
America is a gun.

Japan is a thermal spring
Scotland is a highland fling
Oh, better to be anything
than America is a gun.
