Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday

Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA

I really want to come kick it with you

You'll be my American boy

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday

Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA

I really want to come kick it with you

You'll be my American boy

He said, "Hey, sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"

I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type

Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'

Don't like his baggy jeans but I might like what's underneath them

And, no, I ain't been to MIA

I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake

First let's see the West End, I'll show you to my brethren

I'm likin' this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday

Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA

I really want to come kick it with you

You'll be my American boy, American boy

La, la-la, la-la, ee-ya

You'll be my American boy, American boy

Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway

Let's go shopping, maybe then we'll go to a cafe

Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood

I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good

Dressed in all your fancy clothes

Sneakers lookin' fresh to death, I'm lovin' those Shell Toes

Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk

I'm likin' this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday

Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA

I really want to come kick it with you

You'll be my American boy, American boy

La, la-la, la-la, ee-ya

You'll be my American boy, American boy
