Los Americanos

Piero Piero

The Americans

They are born old
And they keep getting younger
Throughout life
The Americans
And they are convinced
That there is no one in the world
More important
Than the Americans

Napoleon for them
Was an Italian gentleman
Who organized things
Without Americans
And they are more than sure
That he wouldn't have lost
Waterloo with the help
Of the Americans

If they know history
It's not from reading
But from having seen it
In American cinema
With grand scenarios
And grand music
In the subtle style
Of the Americans

With big jaws
From chewing gum so much
It's very common to see them
The Americans
Wearing a thousand colors
All except black
Which they don't consider
American taste

When they are older
They dress as tourists
And travel the world
The Americans
On organized trips
With romance included
In the end paid for
By the Americans

If there's something admired
Wherever they go
It's the great elegance
Of the Americans
With typical outfits
They blend in with people
And no one realizes
They are Americans

And they always buy
Valuable old things
Just aged
For Americans
And then in their homes
They receive friends
Who praise the good taste
Of the Americans

And in nightclubs
After a few drinks
The Americans feel inspired
And it's very common to find them
Dancing non-stop
Exuding the grace
Of the Americans

Well my friends
That's enough for now
I told you what I could
About the Americans
And if you see them
If you see them, please give them my respectful greetings
To the Americans
