My surgeon was born in MombasaMy landlady hails from PeruMy kids’ soccer coach is BrazilianOh, what would we do without you? Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do! Our neighborhood baker’s NepaliMy tech expert came from TaiwanThe deli is owned by SomalisWe sure want you all to stay on Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do! So play me some African rhythmsWe’ll dine on cuisine from PunjabWe thrive in our melting pot culture Without you, our lives would be drab Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do! We don’t buy the lies from the White HouseWe won’t go along with the hateInstead, we will honor our immigrantsFor making America great Immigrants, immigrants, you make America great, it’s true!Immigrants, immigrants, thank you for all that you do!
