Lyrics

Chorus:

This is my country! Home of the Immagrants!

This is my country! Mexico at least loves it!

I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,

For this is my country to pickpocket and to hold.

Verse:

What difference if I hail from North or South

Or from Mexico to Brazil

My heart is full of love for all the easily bribed border patrol.

I only know I swell with pride and deep within my sombrero,

I thrill to see money in my pocket from picking your fruit!

Chorus:

This is my country! Land of my choice!

This is my country! Hear my welfare choice!

I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,

As long as you pay me only you will I hold.
