1. I love America

When I first came to Manhattan
I was not surprised
The stories people had told me
Turned out to ea no lies
All the different people
From all over the world they're living
A magic fills the air
There's music everywhere
I love America 3X

When I first heard funky music
It just blew my mind
The funky music was so good
I'd play it all the time
All the funky rhythms
Going all through my mind and body
They make me have to move
You can't escape the groove
I love America 3X

Everywhere funky music fills the air
You can go to the disco
And you'll find it there
Funky music is music
With so much to share
I love America
I love America

I, I love the funky music 3X
Funky, the funky, the funky music 3X
I love America 3X

When I first learned how to latin
I had so much fun
The salsa sound was so different
Than any sound around
The demanding music
From the people of Puerto Rico
I love to watch them play
Their music is so great
I love America 3X

If you go out any night of the week
You can hear salsa music
The strong latin beat
Sets the mood of people
Who dance fast on their feet
I love America
I love America
La, la, la, la - salsa music 3x
I love America 3X

Then I went down in the country
Down in old Nashville
The people there were so friendly
I have good memories still
Of the worderful times
That I spent in Nashville just dancing
To country-western sounds
The language they all found
I love America 3X

Country-western music is full of life
When you hear the guitars strumming
Both day and night
Rock and roll is the soul
Of Arnerica's pride
I love America
I love America

Rock and roll America, rock and roll
What I say [3X)
I love America

Then, I went to California
To a life of ease
The people there are so mellow
I never like to leave
And the music they plaY
Is so funky, but oh so mellow
Without that East Coast drive
The music is alive
I love America 3X

Music is something they play every day
Bands on their West Ccast
Get down with sounds of LA.
And the music in 'Frisco
Makes me have to say
I love America
I love America

I love, I love, I love America
Music, funky music
Salsa music, so demanding
Nashville, rock and roll, yeah
Hollywood, it's so good

2. Lady Night

Chorus:

Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night

Lady night

It's so good to see you when you're back on the scene
I look for you all day, you know what I mean
But when the sun goes down
from this moment you always come around
You parfume the air
your black dress is always there

Chorus

You look so fine this evening lady night
Your clothes in high fashion,
your hair combed just right
And when you pass me by
my blood pressure begins to rise so high,
I begin to sweat
Oh I've never kissed you night.

Chorus

Break

And what are you going to do before you leave
Look at all of the fellows what you love indeed
To see you in the day
I'm sure there's no price to great to pay
You stay out of sight

You'll never return 'till night

Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady night
