He's drivin' a jeep but he ain't in the Army
Gets all his cigarette money from his mommy
Dressed like a rootin' tootin' Texas cowboy
But this Lone Ranger's never seen a horse
He wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Ooh, he's chasing showgirls, smoking Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never going back
He's cruisin' streets for gold,
Dressed in designer clothes
Brother if you're too slow
You'd better not think or you'll wind up in the trees
He wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favorite thing
Okay, alright
Yeah man, wanna be American, wanna be American
He's in the land where anything can happen
Reach for the stars, grab that golden ring
Just remember he's Americano
Well watch it pal, 'cause he'll take everything
He wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Ooh, he's chasing showgirls, smoking Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never going back!
He likes that rock-n-roll
He's playing baseball
Loves Marilyn Monroe
A Coca Cola, Joe, and a pizza pie to go
Wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favorite thing
Okay, alright!
Yeah man, wanna be American, wanna be American, wanna be American
Hey!
