[Cassandra:]
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
[NYADA Students:]
Aah-America
[Cassandra:]
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
[Cassandra with NYADA Students harmonizing:]
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
[Cassandra with NYADA Students:]
Aah-America-Americano ([NYADA Students:] I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano ([NYADA Students:] I wanna dance)
[Cassandra:]
I will fight for
How I've fought for
How I love you ([NYADA Students:] La la la la la la la)
I have cried for
I will die for
How I care ([NYADA Students:] La la la la la la la)
In the mountains
Las campanas
Están sonando ([NYADA Students:] La la la la la la la)
Todos los chicos ([Female NYADA Students:] Chicas)
Y los chicos ([Female NYADA Students:] Chicas)
Se están besando ([NYADA Students:] La la la la la la la)
[Cassandra with NYADA Students harmonizing:]
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
[Cassandra with NYADA Students:]
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 ([NYADA Students:] Let's do it, do it, do it)
Only got just one life, this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say ([NYADA Students:] Let's do it, do it, do it)
[Cassandra:]
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
[Cassandra with NYADA Students:]
Aah-America-Americano
([Cassandra:] I wanna dance)
Aah-America-Americano
([Cassandra:] I wanna dance)
[Cassandra:]
Oh, oh, oh
[Cassandra with NYADA Students:]
I wanna dance
Aah-America-Americano
[NYADA Students:]
I wanna dance!
[Cassandra:]
I wanna dance!
