Party in the U.S.A. Songtext
von Tokyo Police Club

I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess
Am I gonna fit in?
Jump into the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody′s lookin' so famous

My tummy′s turnin' and I'm kinda feelin′ homesick
Too much pressure and I′m nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on


So I put my hands up, they′re playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they′re playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it′s a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin at me now
Like "Who′s that prick who′s rockin' kicks?
He′s gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely no Toronto party
′Cause all I see are stiletos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turnin′ and I'm kinda feelin' homesick
Too much pressure and I′m nervous
That′s when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on


So I put my hands up, they're playing my song
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin′ my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
I know I′m gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it′s a party in the U.S.A.

I feel like hoppin' on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight
Something stops me every time
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

So I put my hands up, they're playing my song
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin′ my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they′re playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it′s a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

So I put my hands up, they′re playing my song
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they′re playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it′s a party in the U.S.A.
