Ma' used to tell me
don't care about you
Pa' always told me theres no
job for you in the town
Dap-di-tappi dap-tida, dove sta l'America?
That's the song I'm singing now
between the sky and sea
I Tought I had no future, at home in Italy
Nineteen-eleven, farewell to my dear family
And I spent all my money for a ticket to New York
Leaving on a big ship with the hope to find a new life
Hey! Im a rude girl from far away
Now you've got to believe what I say
My story is hope for opportunity
Not sure what happened, once I arrived in New York
I got no money, maybe I found some bad company
Dap-di-tappi dap-tida, dove sta lAmerica?
Where's my job and happiness, now that I sing from
This is not the future, I used to daydream
This's not the happy-land that I thought I would find
Dap-di-tappi dap-tida, dove sta l'America?
Outside of those prisons bar I can not escape from
Here! Im a rude girl from far away
Now you've got to believe what I say
Don't believe in happy-lands sung in the songs
Hey! Im a rude girl from far away
Now you've got to believe what I say
I'm fool but wasn't the only one
