Tu Vuo Fa L'americano
Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleto
Comm'a nuguappo, pe' se fa' guarda'
Tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Mericano, mericano
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po' te siente 'e disturba'
Tu abball' o' rocchenroll
Tu giochi a baisiboll
Ma e solde p' e' Ccamel
Chi te li da
La borsetta di mamma
Tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Mericano, mericano
Ma si' nato in Italy!
Sient' a mme: Nun ce sta niente 'a fa'
Ok, napulitan!
Tu vuo' fa' l'American
Tu vuo' fa' l'American!
Come te po' capi' chi te vo' bbene
Si tu lle parle miezo americano?
Quanno se fa ll'ammore sott' 'a luna
Comme te vene 'ncapa 'e di' I love you?
Tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Mericano, mericano
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po' te siente 'e disturba'
Tu abball' o' rocchenroll
Tu giochi a baisiboll
Ma e solde p' e' Ccamel
Chi te li da
La borsetta di mamma
Tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Mericano, mericano
Ma si' nato in Italy!
Sient' a mme: Nun ce sta niente 'a fa'
Ok, napulitan!
Tu vuo' fa' l'America
Tu vuo' fa' l'America
Tu vuo' fa' l'America!
You Want to Be American
You wear trousers with a crest on it...
A cap with the visor up...
You stroll around in Naples
Like a little kid, just to be seen...
You want to be American
American, American...
Tell me, what are you trying to do?
You want to live in style,
But if you drink 'whisky and soda'
Then you start to get upset...
You dance rock and roll
You play baseball...
But the money for the Camel
Who gives it to you
Mommy's purse
You want to be American
American, American...
But you were born in Italy!
Listen to me: There's nothing to do about it
Ok, Neapolitan!
You want to be American
You want to be American!
How can you understand who loves you
If you speak half American?
When you make love under the moon
How can you say 'I love you'?
You want to be American
American, American...
Tell me, what are you trying to do?
You want to live in style,
But if you drink 'whisky and soda'
Then you start to get upset...
You dance rock and roll
You play baseball...
But the money for the Camel
Who gives it to you
Mommy's purse
You want to be American
American, American...
But you were born in Italy!
Listen to me: There's nothing to do about it
Ok, Neapolitan!
You want to be American
You want to be American
You want to be American!
