  			           D 
When I was two I moved to Texas 
       G                D 
Sad to leave the United States 
    D 
But now I'm sayin' let's just see 
       A 
'Cause I don't wanna wait 
    D 
I'm takin' my Texas flag 
G           D 
Down to the South Pole 
      D 
Gonna make me a capitol 
       A           D 
And an Alamo outta snow 
 
No we ain't got purple mountains 
But we got a lotta snow 
I got a neighbor who's a polar bear 
Goes by the name of Joe 
Joe and I make barbeque 
And sit out in the sun 
I'll take Joe back to Texas 
When our war is won 

     G          D 
Look away, look away 
        A      D 
Antarctica U.S.A. 
     G          D  
Look away, look away 
        A      D 
Antarctica U.S.A. 
 
Well we ain't got but one season 
Throughout the entire year 
So in a way it's just like home 
With that igloo full of beer 
The yellow rose come on down 
Only you can make it right 
For my armadillo you can care 
And keep it warm tonight 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Attention all Americans 
We don't need you anymore 
We Texans got our own Constitution 
And we got our own Mount Rushmore 
On these Texas hills 
Three faces will shine true 
Earl Cambell, Nolan Ryan 
And Willie Nelson too 
 
(Chorus)x2 
         A G     D 
Antarctica   U.S.A.
