Tu Vuò Fa L'Americano
Puorte o cazone cu 'nu stemma arreto
'na cuppulella cu 'a visiera alzata.
Passe scampanianno pe' Tuleto
camme a 'nu guappo pe' te fa guardà!
Tu vuò fa l' americano!
mmericano! mmericano
siente a me, chi t' ho fa fa?
tu vuoi vivere alla moda
ma se bevi whisky and soda
po' te sente 'e disturbà.
Tu abballe 'o roccorol
tu giochi al basebal '
ma 'e solde pe' Camel
chi te li dà? ...
La borsetta di mammà!
Tu vuò fa l' americano
mmericano! mmericano!
ma si nato in Italy!
siente a mme
non ce sta' niente a ffa
o kay, napolitan!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Comme te po' capì chi te vò bene
si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l 'ammore sotto 'a luna
come te vene 'capa e di:"i love you!?"
Tu vuò fa l' americano!
mmericano! mmericano
siente a me, chi t' ho fa fa?
tu vuoi vivere alla moda
ma se bevi whisky and soda
po' te sente 'e disturbà.
Tu abballe 'o roccorol
tu giochi al basebal '
ma 'e solde pe' Camel
chi te li dà? ...
La borsetta di mammà!
Tu vuò fa l' americano
mmericano! mmericano!
ma si nato in Italy!
siente a mme
non ce sta' niente a ffa
o kay, napolitan!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
You Want to Be American
You wear trousers with a crest behind
A cap with the visor raised
Walking swinging in Naples
Like a tough guy to make you look!
You want to be American!
American! American!
Listen to me, who will make you do it?
You want to live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Then you feel disturbed
You dance rock and roll
You play baseball
But the money for Camels
Who gives it to you? ...
Mom's purse!
You want to be American
American! American!
But if you were born in Italy!
Listen to me
There's nothing to do
Okay, Neapolitan!
You want to be American!
You want to be American!
How can you understand who loves you
If you speak half American to her?
When you make love under the moon
How can you say 'I love you'?
You want to be American!
American! American!
Listen to me, who will make you do it?
You want to live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Then you feel disturbed
You dance rock and roll
You play baseball
But the money for Camels
Who gives it to you? ...
Mom's purse!
You want to be American
American! American!
But if you were born in Italy!
Listen to me
There's nothing to do
Okay, Neapolitan!
You want to be American!
You want to be American!
You want to be American!
