    Story Behind the Song
    I was tired of hearing all the bashing being said about the United States by some of the other countries of the world.

    Lyrics
    “I’m an Ugly American”
    By Bob Dixson
    Jan.1, 2003

    I was watching the news on T. V.
    Just the other day
    And it really ticked me off
    At what the newsman had to say
    He kept talking about mistakes we had made
    In past foreign policies
    And how the hatred of Americans
    Became a raging world disease

    Called it the ugly American syndrome
    And that’s why they shout at us
    Yankees go home
    Well I’m an ugly American
    And the world hates my guts
    Just an ugly American
    But I think their nuts
    I'm an ugly American
    Cause things don’t always go so well
    But It’s been ugly Americans
    That keeps the world from going to hell

    Do you remember when America
    Came under a sneak attack
    Can you tell me what we’ve ever done
    To deserve that stab in the back
    It seems some people in the world you know
    Don’t like what we’ve been doing
    They can’t stand the fact that America
    Is rich and affluent

    Called it the ugly American syndrome
    And that’s why they shout at us
    Yankees go home
    Well I’m an ugly American
    And the world hates my guts
    Just an ugly American
    But I think their nuts
    I'm an ugly American
    Cause things don’t always go so well
    But It’s been ugly Americans
    That keeps the world from going to hell

    Do you remember when we liberated France
    And we kicked the nazis in the back of the pants
    Brought the Japanese to their knees
    And the cold war kept communism in a deep freeze

    How long have we waited for the clown
    To comply in Iraq
    Do you really want to sit around
    While the butcher makes more anthrax
    And if we go to war with Saddam
    I know it won’t last long
    Can’t you see we’re keeping him
    From having a nuclear bomb

    And this time when we’ve won
    You’ll know it was ugly Americans
    That got the job done
    Well I’m an ugly American
    And the world hates my guts
    Just an ugly American
    But I think their nuts
    i'm an ugly American
    Cause things don’t always go so well
    But It’s been ugly Americans
    That keeps the world from going to hell
    Just an ugly American What would you do without us
    Who do you think would have won WW2
    Ya’ll be speaking German Russian Japanese if you please
    What’s up with killing our missionaries
    5000 times the United States helped out the world
    We put men on the moon how about you
    Is this a Great country or What !!!!!!
