When I first came to Manhattan
I was not surprised.
The stories people had told me
Turned out to be no lies.
All the different people
From all over the world they're living.
A magic fills the air.
There's music everywhere.
I love America, I love America,
I love America, America.
When I first heard funky music
It just blew my mind.
The funky music was so good
I'd play it all the time.
All the funky rhythms
Going all through my mind and body.
They make me have to move.
You can't escape the groove.
I love America, I love America,
I love America, America.
Everywhere funky music fills the air.
You can go to the disco
And you'll find it there.
Funky music is music
With so much to share.
I love America, I love America.
[Hook]
I love America, I love, I love, I love America.
I love America, I love, I love, I love America.
America, New York City, funky music.
I love America, I love, I love, I love America.
I love America, I love, I love, I love America.
San Francisco, you're the foretown.
I love America, I love, I love, I love America.
I love America, I love, I love, I love America.
