American Boy (Radio 1 Live Lounge)

[Intro]
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Oh oh, oh
Haha!

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
He said, "Hey Mister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type
I like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peaking
Don't like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath them
And no I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's all the way
First let's see the West End, show you to my bredrin
I'm liking this American bo-oh-oy-oh-oy-oh-oy

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping, maybe then we'll go to a café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I've never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm likin' those shell toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm liking this American bo-oh-oy-oh-oy-oh-oy

[Chorus]
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
Likin' this American boy

[Verse 3]
Hello, my name is S-A-M-S-P-A-double R-O to Sam
And I grew up into a man from a baby in a pram
I've got a lot to say, I've got lot to do
And hopefully very soon I'll be in a town near you
We can party all night, I'll entertain the crowd
If you're anything like me you like to he-ear it loud
I said Jamaica, Japan and all around, shake your chubby cheeks to my funky sound
Would you be my love, my love
Could you be my love, ooh
Would you be my love, my love
Would you be my American boy, ha!

[Chorus]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay
I really want to come kick it with you
Would you be my American boy, American bo-oy-oy, oh
