My surgeon was born in Mombasa
My landlady hails from Peru
My kids’ soccer coach is Brazilian
Oh, what would we do without you?
Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!
Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do!
Our neighborhood baker’s Nepali
My tech expert came from Taiwan
The deli is owned by Somalis
We sure want you all to stay on
Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!
Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do!
So play me some African rhythms
We’ll dine on cuisine from Punjab
We thrive in our melting pot culture
Without you, our lives would be drab
Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!
Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do!
We don’t buy the lies from the White House
We won’t go along with the hate
Instead, we will honor our immigrants
For making America great
Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!
Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do!
