L'Americano
Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto
Na cuppulella c'a visiera aizata
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleto
Comm'a nu guappo, pe' te fa' guardà
Ma tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Americano, americano
Sient'a mme chi t''o ffa fa'? (Eh, eh, eh)
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po' te siente 'e disturba'
Tu abball' o' rock'n'roll
Tu giochi a baseball
Ma e sorde p''e Camel
Chi te li da?
La borsetta di mammà
Ma tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Americano, americano
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?
Ma tu vuo' fa' l'americano
Americano, americano
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
The American
Wearin' pants with a fancy crest
A little hat with the visor up
Struttin' around in Toledo
Like a tough guy, makin' you look
But you wanna be American
American, American
What are you tryna do to me? (Eh, eh, eh)
You wanna live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Then you start feelin' sick
You dance rock'n'roll
You play baseball
But where's the cash
Who gives it to you?
Mommy's purse
But you wanna be American
American, American
But you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing to do
Ok, Neapolitan
You wanna be American
You wanna be American
How can you understand who loves you
If you speak half American?
When we make love under the moon
How do you come up with saying, I love you?
But you wanna be American
American, American
But you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing to do
Ok, Neapolitan
You wanna be American
You wanna be American
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
