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

Aaaaaahh americaaa 

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 el verano
En agosto

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo 
Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo 

I will fight for
I have fought for
How I love you
I have cried for
I will die for
How I care

In the mountains
Las campanas
Están sonando
Todos los chicos (chicas)
Y los chicos (chicas) se están besando

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

I wanna dance
And love
And dance
Again

Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo 
Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo 

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

Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo (I wanna dance)
Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo (I wanna dance)
Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo (I wanna dance)
Aaaaaahh Americaaa  Americanooo (I wanna dance)
I wanna dance
