[Verse 1]
I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess (whoa)
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to the right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

[Pre-Chorus]
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a JAY-Z song was on
And a JAY-Z song was on
And a JAY-Z song was on

[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, and the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like "Yeah"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah"
So I'll put my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
[Verse 2]
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like "who's that guys that's rockin' kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my friends not around me
It's definitely not a London party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

[Pre-Chorus]
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on

[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, and the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like "Yeah"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah"
So I'll put my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
[Bridge]
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, and the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like "Yeah" (noddin' my noddin' my head)
Movin' my hips like "Yeah" (ooh yeah)
I got my hands up
They're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be okay (oh)
Yeah, (na-na-na-na) it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, and the butterflies fly away (butterflies flying away)
Noddin' my head like "Yeah" (noddin' my head like "Yeah")
Movin' my hips like "Yeah" (movin' "Yeah")
I got my hands up
They're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be okay (gonna be okay)
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, (ha ha ha ha ha) it's a party in the USA
