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
Aah-America-Americano
I will fight for
How I've 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 chicas
Y los chicos
Se están besando
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
Aah-America-Americano (NYADA Students: I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano (NYADA Students: I wanna dance)
If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then
Only got just one life, this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say
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 wanna dance
Aah-America-Americano
I wanna dance!
I wanna dance!
