Coming To America Lyrics by The System

Coming to America (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1988

[Chorus]
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America
Oh, say
Can you see
I’m coming to America
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America
[Verse 1]
I took a plane to sunny Spain
I crossed the desert in a camel train
To see the sights in gay Paris
But there's a land more wonderful to me
[Chorus]
Oh, (oh) say
Can you see
I’m coming to America
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America (Hey)
[Verse 2]
I've been to Kenya and walked in Hyde Park
I seen Copenhagen after dark with my baby
I met the Pope at the Vatican
I seen Ghana, Tijuana and the Sea of Japan
[Chorus]
Oh, (oh) say
Can you see
I'm coming to America
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America
[Bridge]
You can travel round the world
See lots of boys and girls
Meet different people on the way
But there's nothing likе the USA
[Chorus]
Oh, (oh) say
Can you see
I'm coming to America (Coming to America)
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to Amеrica
[Instrumental break]
[Interlude]
First stop - New York City (New York!)
All the girls are pretty
Next stop - Miami
Everybody was jammin’
I bought a ticket to L.A. (L.A.!)
That’s the perfect way
Everyone in the world (Oh yeah!)
Is comin' to the US...A
[Chorus]
Oh, say
Can you see
I’m coming to America (The land of opportunity)
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America (Hold on! I'm comin', I’m comin')
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America (Coming to America)
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America (Coming to America)
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America (Land of opportunity)
Oh, say
Can you see
I'm coming to America
