[Hook]
I see you out there dancin;✦ looks like you need romancin
You're my American✦ girl, A-merican✦ girl
You know I wanna✦ hold you; here's✦ somethin you can roll to
You're my American✦ girl, A-merican✦ girl (march ladies!)✦
Left, left, left-right-left✦ (march ladies!)✦
Right, right, right-left-right✦ (march ladies!)✦
Left, left, left-right-left✦ (march ladies!✦
Right, right, right-left-right✦ (march ladies~!)✦
[LL Cool J]
I'm so glad that French helped✦ us out
Now you free to walk around✦ and let your cleavage bounce
The Founding Fathers would've been hot and bothered
Watch boomdizzle, you know what I'm talkin✦ about✦
From Philadelphia to Illinois
St. Louis, Alabama, country grammar
Queens, New York, Detroit to Montana
Today's your day girl, let's raise the banner✦
Benjamin✦ Franklin, I so wanna✦ thank him
Take a look at these girls, they the best in the world
Blonds and brunettes, redheads with curls
March with me girl and let your baton✦ twirl
Champagne corks were burstin in the air
Gave prove through the night, my girls were still there
I'm a drum major,✦ leadin✦ you to the flavor✦
Go ahead✦ and shake what'cha momma✦ gave ya
Oh, oh, say can you see
By the dawn's early✦ light
Par-ty✦ with me every✦ night
Let down your hands, alright
Whatever you do, don't lose this all fast
I'mma✦ have to fly my flag at half mast
You go girl, you make me wanna✦ holla✦
I'd take George off and put your boobs on the dollar
[Hook]
[LL Cool J]
I'm the master✦ of the ceremony go 'head yell
Put your hands in the air ring the Liberty Bell
I give you the John Hancock if you don't tell
Let's have the Boston✦ Tea party,✦ what the hell!
Celebrate the day Crispus Attucks fell
So we could use our parts and rock to LL
36 double D's never✦ troubled me
Thank God that Columbus made that discovery
The Queen of Spain spent some change
Now Paris✦ Hilton,✦ is pushin✦ the Range
Stars ride by while the chauffeurs drive
But all you girls with 9-to-5's dance with pride
This is the USA,✦ great to be alive✦
Great watch the video with them big ol' thighs
Brown and blue, green and hazel eyes
All directed straight towards the prize
Any✦ shape or size, all different types✦ of vibes✦
Around✦ the way girls, ready✦ to ride
Farmer's daughter on the John Deere with pride
Conservative blue bloods, intelligent minds
With them Girls Next Door, they put me under✦ a spell
I'm on top of the world, I'mma✦ screamin✦ to tell
I love the USA✦ girls
Almost as much as when the Giants beat Green Bay, girl
[Hook]

"Founding Fathers would've been hot and bothered"

① The historical figures would be angry or disturbed by modern freedoms.② The historical figures would be sexually attracted to the subject of the verse.

"Gave prove through the night"

① A lyrical reference to the national anthem's 'gave proof through the night'.② A boast regarding the endurance or presence of the 'American girls' being described throughout the evening.

Highly infectious rhythmic pocket

Strong vocal presence and confident delivery

Effective use of military cadence motifs to anchor the flow

Limited depth in metaphor beyond surface-level patriotism

Relies on predictable, functional rhyming over clever wordplay

Historical references are shallow and serve more as fillers than structural pillars
