Lyrics
you're wearing trousers
with all the labels showing
you wear a fancy cap
and tell ev'ryone it's cool
you strut around there
e-ve-ry-where you're going
but you should know
that you look like
some freakin' fool
tu vuo' fa' l'americano
mericano, mericano...
tell me why you are such a fake
you must think you're a la moda,
but when you're drinkin'
whiskey soda
all you get's a really really
bad stomachache
You dance the rock & roll
You play the baseball
those cigarettes you smoke
should make you choke
'cause they leave yo' mama broke
tu vuo' fa' l'americano
'mericano, 'mericano
you were born in italy
an americano you'll never be...
tu vuò fà l'americà
tu vuò fà l'americà
you put your english in italiano
though when you do that,
I guarantee confusion will ensue
I mean how can she understand
you mean to say "ti amo"
when you caress her and
tell her "I love you"?
solo
tu vo' fa' l'americano
'mericano, 'mericano
sienta-me qui to fa fa'?
tu vuoi viver' alla moda
ma si bevi whisky-soda
poi te siente molto disturba'
tu abball' o' rock'n'roll
tu gioch' a baasebaoll
ma'e sorde pe' camel
qui te lidà
la borsetta di mamma
tu vuo' fa' l'americano
'mericano, 'mericano
ma si' nato en Italy
sient' a-me, nonche sta
niente 'a fa', ok,
vuo' fa' l'american
vuo' fa' l'american
