“You’re wearing trousers with a tag on the back
and a cap with the visor turned up,
parading around Toleto
like a bully trying to show off

You’re acting all american,
american, american,
listen here: who’s asking you to?”

Tu vuo’ fa’ l’americano

“Tu vuo’ fa’ l’americano,” a 1956 Neapolitan pop song by Nicola Salerno and Renato Carosone, performed by Signor Carosone e i suoi amici. Dig that swingin’ mandolin solo.

an American, an American.
Listen to me! Who’s asking to you?”
