American Boy
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me and you about to get down
Who the hottest in the world right now
Just touched down in London town
Bet they give me a pound
Tell them put the money in my hand right now
Tell the promoter we need more seats
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
He said, "Hey, sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 4 foot 7 boy who's just my type
I like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peaking
Don't like his baggy jeans but I like the way he's thinking
And no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits
First let's see the West End, I'll show you all my best friends
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 L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Caf
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 looking 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 some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be my love, my love?
Could you be my love, my love?
Would you be my American boy, American boy?
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
American boy, American boy, American
The song "American Boy" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about a woman who meets an American man in London and is charmed by him. The lyrics depict the woman's desire to explore America with the man and the attractions it has to offer. The song starts with a catchy hook "Just another one champion sound, me and you about to get down" meaning that the man and the woman are unstoppable together and nothing can stop them from having a good time. They feel confident and cool like champions. The next line "Who the hottest in the world right now, Just touched down in London town" means that the American man is the hottest person right now, and he's just arrived in London.
The chorus of the song repeats, "Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday, take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A., I really want to come kick it with you, you'll be my American boy, American boy." This shows the woman's eagerness to explore America with the man she's met.
In the second verse, the woman mentions her attraction to the small American man she's met who stands at only 4 foot 7. She likes the way he presents himself and talks, even though she doesn't like his baggy jeans. The rest of the verse describes the woman's desire to explore different parts of America, like the West End and Brooklyn.
