Come to the U.S.A. lyrics, by Ray Stevens
If you thinkin’ about illegal immigration
Be careful when you’re choosin’ the nation
‘Cause breakin’ the law in some countries is frowned upon.
Imagine that.
Sneak into China and they’ll call you a spy
And ship you to Mongolia till you die.
And in Sudan they’ll hang you and the camel you rode in on.
Yeah and don’t go a-hikin’ and enter Iran
Or you might never be heard from again.
And in Mexico you might face a firing squad.
Yeah and forget all about going to North Korea.
That’s a great example of a bad idea
So when it comes down to it
there’s only one option you got.
Yeah come to the USA.
There’s no penalty to pay
Should you get caught illegally immigratin’
Come to the USA.
It will be your lucky day
‘Cause when you get in there’s lots of goodies waitin’
Like health care welfare free education
Help with your voter registration
And drivers license and credit cards
And license plates for your old car.
Lots of jobs for you to do
And employers who’ll turn a blind eye too.
Come to the USA!
No need to worry about the Constitution.
We’ll help you start a house of prostitution
If that’s the kind of work that you wanna do.
You see those gringo infidels are crazy.
They’ll give citizenship to your new baby.
So you see there’s really only one choice for you.
Come to the USA.
There’s no penalty to pay
Should you get caught illegally immigratin’
I said come to the USA.
It will be your lucky day
‘Cause when you get in there’s lots of goodies waitin’
Yeah you get public housing and cable TV
And food stamps and even government cheese.
The borders are a swinging door.
Go home for a visit and come back for more.
There’s sanctuary and amnesty.
Bring the whole famn damily eventually.
Yeah come to the USA.
