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!
