The Real Ambassador

Who's the real ambassador?

It is evident we represent American society

Noted for its etiquette, its manners and sobriety

We have followed protocol with absolute propriety

We're Yankees to the core

We're the real ambassadors

Though we may appear as bores

We are diplomats in our proper hats

Our attire becomes habitual

Along with all the ritual

The diplomatic corps

Has been analyzed and criticized by NBC and CBS

Senators and congressmen are so concerned they can't recess

State Department stands in awe your coup d'état has met success

And caused this great uproar

Who's the real ambassador? Yeah!

The real ambassador!

The real ambassador!

I'm the real ambassador

It is evident I was sent by government to take your place

All I do is play the blues and meet the people face to face

I'll explain and make it plain I represent the human race

And don't pretend no more

Who's the real ambassador

Certain facts we can't ignore

In my humble way, I'm the USA

Though I represent the government

The government don't represent some policies I'm for

Oh, we learned to be concerned about the constitutionality

In our nation segregation isn't a legality

Soon our only differences will be in personality

That's what I stand for

Who's the real ambassador?

Yes, the real ambassador

In his humble way, he's the USA

Though he represents the government

The government don't represent some policies he's for

Oh, we learned to be concerned about the constitutionality

In our nation segregation isn't a legality

Soon our only differences will be in personality

That's what I stand for

He's the real ambassador

Yes, the real ambassador!
