You Wanna Be American

Tu Vuo' Fa L'Americano

Wear pants with a logo on the backPuorte o cazone cu 'nu stemma arreto
a little hat with the visor up.'na cuppulella cu 'a visiera alzata.
Strutting around in ToledoPasse scampanianno pe' Tuleto
like a tough guy to make you look!camme a 'nu guappo pe' te fa guardà!

You wanna be American!Tu vuò fa l' americano!
American! American!mmericano! mmericano
Listen to me, who's gonna make you?siente a me, chi t' ho fa fa?
You wanna live in styletu vuoi vivere alla moda
but if you drink whiskey and sodama se bevi whisky and soda
then you feel disturbed.po' te sente 'e disturbà.

You dance the rock 'n' rollTu abballe 'o roccorol
you play baseballtu giochi al basebal '
but the money for Camelsma 'e solde pe' Camel
who gives it to you? ...chi te li dà? ...
Mommy's purse!La borsetta di mammà!

You wanna be AmericanTu vuò fa l' americano

You wanna be American!Tu vuò fa l' american!
You wanna be American!Tu vuò fa l' american!

How can you understand who loves youComme te po' capì chi te vò bene

When making love under the moonQuando se fa l 'ammore sotto 'a luna
how do you end up saying 'I love you'?come te vene 'capa e di:"i love you!?"
