Tu Vuo Fa L'americano
Los Pettinellis
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!
