I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan
 
 [bad word] to the land of fame, excess, whoa am I gotta fit in? 

Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time 

Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign 

This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous 

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 the Jay-Z song was on 

And the Jay-Z song was on 

And the Jay-Z song was on 

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song 

The butterflies fly away 

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!" 

Movin' my hips like "Yeah!" 

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song 

And now I'm gonna be okay 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

Get to the club in my taxi cab 

Everybody's lookin' at me now 

Like "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks 

She's gotta be from out of town" 

So hard with my girls not around me 

It's definitely not a Nashville party 

'Cause all I see are stilettos 

I guess I never got the memo 

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick 

Too much pressure and I'm nervous 

That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune 

And the Britney song was on 

And the Britney song was on 

And the Britney song was on 

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song 

The butterflies fly away 

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!" 

Movin' my hips like "Yeah!" 

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song 

And now I'm gonna be okay 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

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 

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song 

The butterflies fly away 

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!" 

Movin' my hips like "Yeah!" 

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song 

And now I'm gonna be okay 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song 

The butterflies fly away 

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!" 

Movin' my hips like "Yeah!" 

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song 

And now I'm gonna be okay 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA! 

Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
