Tu Vuo' Fa L'Americano
The Talented Mr. Ripley
You Wanna Be American
Wearing trousers with a crest behind...
A little hat with the visor tilted up...
Strutting around in Naples
Like a tough guy, to show off...
You wanna be American
American, American...
Who do you think you're fooling?
You want to live in style,
But if you drink 'whisky and soda'
Then you start feeling sick...
You dance rock 'n' roll
You play baseball...
But where do you get the money
To pay for it all?
Your mom's purse!?
You wanna be American
American, American...
But you were born in Italy!
Listen to me: there's nothing to do about it
Ok, Neapolitan!
You wanna be American
You wanna be American!
How can you understand who loves you
If you speak half in American?
When making love under the moon
How do you manage to say 'I love you'?
You wanna be American
American, American... (etc.)
