I met a girl in east LA
In floral shorts as sweet as May
She sang in eigths in two Barrio chords
We fell in love
But not in court

Ahh-America

Mis canciones son de la revolucion
Mi corazón me duele por mi generación

If you love me
We can marry
On the west coast
On a Wednesday
En un verano
En agosto

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again
I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

Ahh-america Americano (I wanna dance)
Ahh-america Americano (I wanna dance)

I will fight for
How I've fought for
How I love you (la la la la la la la)
I have cried for
I will die for
How I care (la la la la la la la)
In the mountains

Las campanas
Están sonando (la la la la la la la)
Todos los chicas (Chicas)
Y los chicos (hicos)
Se están besando (la la la la la la la)

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again
I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

Ahh-america Americano
Ahh-america Americano

If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then
(Let's do it, do it, do it)
Only got just one life, this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say
(Let's do it, do it, do it)

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again
I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

Ahh-america Americano (I wanna dance)
Ahh-america Americano (I wanna dance)
Ahh-america Americano (I wanna dance)
Ahh-america Americano (I wanna dance)
I wanna dance
