Party in the U.S.A. Lyrics

[Chloe]
I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan

[Chloe & Cynthia Rose]
Welcome to the land of fame excess, am I gonna fit in?

[Chloe, Cynthia Rose, Fat Amy, & Stacie]
I jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time

[Chloe, Cynthia Rose, Fat Amy, Stacie, & Lilly]
Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy

[Chloe, Cynthia Rose, Fat Amy, Stacie, Lilly, & Aubrey]
Everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turning, and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much pressure, and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And the Jay-Z song was on

[All]
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
So I put my hands up, they're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah
Moving my hips like yeah
Got my hands up, they're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
[Beca]
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
