Oh! What a trip!

What a wonderful trip!

And to think that I was worried

at the start of the trip!

I must confess that I was filled with doubt

but there was really nothing to worry about!



They love me, they love me!

I'm welcome everywhere with open arms!

They love me, they love me!

I never knew I had so many charms!



In Pakistan they took be sailing on a lovely lake

In India they let be see a mongoose kill a snake

because they love me, they love me

an' they want me to come back again!



They love me, they love me!

In Tokyo they think that I'm a "dream"

They claimed me an' named me

"America's Ambassador Supreme"



They always have a banquet

on the day that I arrive

In Borneo they made me eat

an octopus "alive!"

Because they love me? . . . they love me

an' they want me to come back again!



They love me, they love me!

With every place I visit it's the same!

They meet me, an' greet me!

With every kind of present you can name!



A chieftain in New Guinea

with his forehead painted "red"

presented me with a poison arrow

an' a "shrunken head"

Because they love me . . . oh they love me

an' they want me to come back again!



They love me, they love me!

I smile when I'm presented with a key!

In Thailand 'twas my land

I spent a happy day from two to three!



The day I left Arabia

my seat was full of bumps . . .

They made me ride a camel

where I sat between the humps!

Because they love me . . . they love me

an' they want me to come back

they want me to come back

they want me to come back again!
