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
He's chasing showgirls
Smokin' camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back
He's cruisin streets for gold
Dressed in designer clothes
Brother, if you're too slow
You'd better not blink
Or you'll wind up in the drink
Wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favourite thing
Okay, all right, 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
You wants to drive a Cadillac
Now he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back
He likes that rock and roll
He's playing baseball
Loves Marilyn Monroe
A coca cola Joe
And a pizza pie to go
He wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
He wants to drive a Cadillac
Now he's chasing showgirls
Smokin' Camels, whiskey and soda
Now he's never goin' back
Wanna be Americano, Americano, Americano
Gotta buy a diamond ring
'Cause that's his baby's favourite thing
Okay, all right, yeah man
Wanna be American
