[Verse:]
Poor little immigrant feeling Oh, so sad
I came from Petrograd with ev'rything I had
Now that I'm over here they won't let me stay
That's why I'm so unhappy today
Please don't send me away

[1st refrain:]
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to Petrograd
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to my hometown

There's millions of people on the shore
Why can't you make room for just one more
There's a boy that I love waiting out on the pier
How can I go when my heart is over here

Give me the chance that you gave all my friends from Petrograd
I want to be in the land of the free and settle down

That Liberty statue down the bay
Is looking right at you and seems to say
Oh! don't send her back
It's terrible in my hometown

[2nd refrain:]
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to Petrograd
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to my hometown

The very best people that you know
Were foreigners not so long ago
When they came over here they were all immigrants
So were their cousins and their uncles and their aunts

Give me the chance that you gave all my friends from Petrograd
I want to be in the land of the free and settle down

I'll promise to work the best I can
I'll even wash sheets for the Ku Klux Klan
Oh! don't send me back
It's terrible in my hometown
