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.
Everythings 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.
