[Ads-l] "I say...Lusitani-ay"

[James Landau]

Something I am curious about:
There is a song with the words       Home boys home that's where I want to be       Home boys home back in God's country       The ash and the oak and the weeping willow tree        And the grass grows green back in North Ameri--kee
I don't know much about this song, and I can't offhand thank of any other uses of "Ameri--kee".  A nonce usage?
