Tu vuò fa l'americano
Hetty And The Jazzato Band
You Want to Be American
Wear trousers with a tight fit
A cap with the visor up
Strolling around in Toledo
Like a fool, just to show off
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 feel sick
You dance rock 'n' roll
You play baseball
But the money for 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 do you come up with saying 'I love you'?
You want to be American
American, American
Listen to me.
