Tu vuo' fa' l'Americano (1960) Songtext
von Sophia Loren

You wanna be Americano
′Mericano, 'mericano
You were born in Italy
You try living "alla moda"
But if you drink whisky and soda
All you do is sing off key

You dance the rock and roll
You play at baseball
Those cigarettes you smoke
Leave 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
Okay, napolita′
You wanna be america'
You wanna be america′


Tu vuo' fa′ ll'americano
′Mericano, 'mericano
Siente a me, chi t'ho fa fa′?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po′ te siente 'e disturbà

Tu abballe ′o rock and roll
Tu giochi al baseball
Ma 'e solde pe′ Camel
Chi te li dà?
La borsetta di mammà!

Tu vuò fa l'americano
′Mmericano, 'mmericano
Ma si nato in Italy!
Siente a me non ce sta' niente a fa
Okay, napolitan
Tu vuò fa l′american
Tu vuò fa l′american

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