THANK YOU, NORTH AMERICA
(Sammy Fain / Jack Yellen)

Carmen Miranda


Thank you North America
Thank you for your goodwill
There's a lot more on the dances
In New York than in Brazil

Oh, oh North America
I’ve seen your Hollywood
When it comes to love and romance
You yourselves are pretty good

We hear your music as much 
as ours playing on our radio
And as for lovers, your Tyron Power is not bad
And I ought to know

In the splendour of your uniforms
You’re such dangerous Yanks
In your arms I must surrender
And this Brazilian says a million

Thanks North America
A million, million thanks

We thank you North America
You are very okay
North Americans and Rhumba
And the Salsa, American way

No place like America
Hollywood and New York
Where you can ????
To Brazilian ???? 

We hear your music as much 
as ours playing on our radio
And as for lovers, your Tyron Power is marvelous
And I ought to know

In the splendour of your uniforms
You’re so such dangerous Yanks
In your arms I must surrender
And this Brazilian says a million

Thanks North America
A million, million thanks
