Tu Vuo Fa' L'americano - Sophia Loren

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…

tu vuoi vivere alla moda,

ma se bevi «whisky and soda»
