URUGUAY

My country's betwixt and between,
not Brazilian and not Argentine.
We're stuck in the middle
but fit as a fiddle
as long as our máh-tay is green.

The country is small,
but the people are tall.
Our Spanish is twisted,
some words are not listed
in your dictionary at all.

But the beef is all prime
and most of the time
the weather is fine
and so is the wine.

We're proud of our beer
and the water is clear.
Throughout the land
our beaches are sand.
No stress to release,
the country's at peace,
and that's why we're here.
