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

Aah-America-Americano I wanna dance
