This Land Intro Lyrics

[Intro and throughout: Avenue D & Woody Guthrie]
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me the endless skyway
I saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled, my footsteps led me
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was calling
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

[Verse 1: Jonas Jonasson]
I love America
I'll say it over and over, we're having fun in New York, Dallas, and Dover
Yes, I love America
Why? You tell me, Yankee Doodle Dandy
Is it Girl Scouts with their candy?
'Cause horny is not randy?
Hell, your reason? Totally in this season
Yes, I love America
A saint, no it ain't, show no restraint, it's America
It's only America, say it over and over
I love America
Even use that beer bottle mic, now that sure is American
You and me now, I love America
Only here can you ding dong it
Hell, you can sing-song it
You can rama-lama all the way to Alabama
You can oi doi, yes no, uh oh, hey-o, just get into it, America
It's for everyone, the good old' U.S. of A
Up all night, coast to coast
Now let's raise a toast, to south of Canada, to fifty states
To highways, to cheeseburgers, to endless jailbait
Yes sir, this one's for America
I just knew it, I love America
[Outro: Avenue D & Woody Guthrie]
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
