I was tired of hearing about how some of the other countries have been bashing the United States and how we do things.

“I’m an ugly American”
By Bob Dixson
Jan.1, 2003
I was watching the news on T. V.
Just the other day
And it really ticked me off
At what the newsman had to say
He kept talking about mistakes we had made
In past foreign policies
And how the hatred of Americans
Became a raging world disease
Called it the ugly American syndrome
And that’s why they shout at us
Yankees go home
Well I’m an ugly American
And the world hates my guts
Just an ugly American
But I think their nuts
I'm an ugly American
Cause things don’t always go so well
But It’s been ugly Americans
That keeps the world from going to hell
Do you remember when America
Came under sneak attack
Can you tell me what we’ve ever done
To deserve that stab in the back
It seems some people in the world you know
Don’t like what we’ve been doing
They can’t stand the fact that America
Is rich and affluent
Called it the ugly American syndrome
And that’s why they shout at us
Yankees go home
Well I’m an ugly American
And the world hates my guts
Just an ugly American
But I think their nuts
I'm an ugly American
Cause things don’t always go so well
But It’s been ugly Americans
That keeps the world from going to hell
Do you remember when we liberated France
And we kicked the nazis in the back of the pants
Brought the Japanese to their knees
And the cold war kept communism in a deep freeze
How long have we waited for the clown
To comply in Iraq
Do you really want to sit around
While the butcher makes more anthrax
And if we go to war with Saddam
I know it won’t last long
Can’t you see we’re keeping him
From having a nuclear bomb
And this time when we’ve won
You’ll know it was ugly Americans
That got the job done
Well I’m an ugly American
And the world hates my guts
Just an ugly American
But I think their nuts
I'm an ugly American
Cause things don’t always go so well
But It’s been ugly Americans
That keeps the world from going to hell
Just an ugly American Just an ugly American
What would you do without us
Who do you think would have won WW2
Ya’ll be speaking German, Russian, Japanese if you please
What’s up with killing our missionaries
5000 times the United States helped out the world
5000 times We put men on the moon
Is this a Great country or What !!!!!!
