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!
