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
Go sigarettes 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
