Tu Vuò Fa L'americano
Renato Carosone
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
