I'm an immigrant and I'm here to say
I've traveled a great distance from far away

Sometimes I had my family
Sometimes I was alone
But mostly I was looking for a brand new home

Freedom, beginnings, and a better life too
Doing the immigration bugaloo!

As an immigrant, I began a new life
It was often filled with hardship and a lot of strife

Sometimes we were enslaved
Sometimes treated bad
But mostly we were happy for the new lives we had

Freedom of religion, education too
Doing the immigration bugaloo!

Many immigrants come to the U.S.A.
To find good jobs and better pay

Sometimes we fled from war
Sometimes we were too poor
But mostly for our families we just wanted more

Citizenship, government, and a melting pot too!
Doing the immigration bugaloo!
