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

Aah-America

Mis canciones son de la revolucíon
Mi corazón me duele por mi generacíon
If you love me, we can marry on the west coast
On a Wednesday, en un verano de agosto

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again

Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
Aah-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 chicos (Chicas)
Y los chicos (Chicas)
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

Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
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

Aah-America-Americano
(I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano
(I wanna dance)

Oh, oh, oh

I wanna dance
Aah-America-Americano

I wanna dance!

I wanna dance!
