America is a Gun - Brian Bilston

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree
America is a gun.

Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band. 
America is a gun.
 
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
 
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.
