Tu vo' fa l'americano

You wanna be Americano,
'mericano, 'mericano:
You were born in Italy.
You try livin' alla moda,
But if you drink whisky-soda
All you do is sing off key

You dance the rock-n-roll
You play at baseball
Those cigarettes you smoke
Leave your mama broke
They should only make you joke

You wanna be Americano,
'mericano, 'mericano:
You were born in Italy.
Don't you know it's not
New York City
O'Kay, Napolita
You wanna be America,
You wanna be America

Ha! Ha!

Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
mericano, mericano...
sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
tu vuoi vivere alla moda,
ma se bevi "whisky and soda"
po' te siente 'e disturba'...
Tu abball' o' rocchenroll
tu giochi a baisiboll...
ma e solde p' e' Ccamel
chi te li da
la borsetta di mamma

Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
mericano, mericano...
ma si' nato in Italy!
sient' a mme: nun ce sta niente 'a fa'
ok, napulitan!
tu vuo' fa' ll'american
tu vuo' fa' ll'american!

Whiskey-soda, rock-n-roll,
Whiskey-soda, rock-n-roll,
Whiskey-soda, rock-n-roll,
Whiskey-soda, rock-n-roll:
