This song is about Nassau Club, from early 1900s, not about WW2. It is not mocking the Americans at all, but a song in favor of the American spirit (of independence)
It's difficult to determine when The American was actually written. Apparently it was inspired by the bright colours of an exhibition of modern American art that Jim visited, being written in the back of a van while driving through the East Coast of America.
