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 revolución
Mi corazón me duele por mi generación
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 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
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano (I wanna dance)
If this would be a perfect world
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
