You Want to Be American

Renato Carosone

Tu Vuò Fa L'americano

Puorte 'e calzune cu nu stemma arreta
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleta
Comm'a nu guappo, pe' te fa' guardà

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' rock'n'roll
Tu gioch' a baseball
Ma 'e sorde p' è camel
Chi te li dà
La borsetta di mammà

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

Comme te po' capi' chi te vo' bene
Si tu le parle miezo americano
Quanno se fa l'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 fa fa'
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po' te siente 'e disturba

Tu abball' o' rock'n'roll
Tu gioch' a baseball
Ma 'e sorde p' è camel
Chi te li dà
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' ll'American
Tu vuo' fa' ll'American

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

Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll

You Want to Be American

You wear trousers with a crease
A cap with the visor up
You stroll around Tuleta
Like a tough guy, to make you look

You want to be American
American, American
Listen to me, what will you do
You want to live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Then you feel disturbed

You dance rock'n'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 if you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing to do
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 making love under the moon
How can you say I love you

You want to be American
American, American
Listen to me, what will you do
You want to live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Then you feel disturbed

You dance rock'n'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 if you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing to do
Ok, Neapolitan
You want to be American
You want to be American

You want to be American
American, American
But if you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing to do
Ok, Neapolitan
You want to be American
You want to be American

Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
