[Verse:]
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
[1st refrain:]
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 me sailing on a lovely lake
In India they let me see a mongoose kill a snake
Because they love me, they love me
And they want me to come back again
[2nd refrain:]
They love me, they love me
In Tokyo they think that I'm a dream
They claimed me and 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
And they want me to come back again
[3rd refrain:]
They love me, they love me
With every place I visit it's the same
They meet me and 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 and a shrunken head
Because they love me, oh they love me
And they want me to come back again
[3rd refrain:]
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
And they want me to come back
They want me to come back
They want me to come back again
Irving Berlin, pseudonimo di Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), è stato uno dei compositori americani più influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Temesvár, in Romania, da una famiglia ebrea, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti all'età di 5 anni. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante e pianista nei locali di New York, scrivendo le sue prime canzoni mentre lavorava come cameriere. Nel 1911 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Alexander's Ragtime Band", che divenne un inno nazionale durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Berlin compose centinaia di canzoni, tra cui "White Christmas", "God Bless America" e "This Is a Lovely Day". Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili, testi semplici ma efficaci e una profonda comprensione del gusto popolare americano. Berlin ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui l'Oscar alla carriera nel 1971. La sua musica continua ad essere eseguita e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
