America (From the Musical "West Side Story") |
Rosalia |
Puerto Rico |
You lovely island. |
. |
Island of tropical breezes |
Always the pineapples growing |
Always the coffee blossoms blowing. |
. |
Anita |
Puerto Rico. |
. |
You ugly island. |
. |
Island of tropic diseases |
Always the hurricanes blowing |
Always the population growing. |
. |
And the money owing |
And the babies crying |
And the bullets flying |
I like the island Manhattan |
Smoke on your pipe and put that in! |
Others |
I like to be in America! |
O.K. |
by me in America! |
Ev’rything free in America |
For a small fee in America! |
Rosalia |
I like the city of San Juan |
Anita |
I know a boat you can get on |
Rosalia |
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom |
Anita |
Hundreds of people in each room! |
All |
Automobile in America |
Chromium steel in America |
Wire-spoke wheel in America |
Very big deal in America! |
Rosalia |
I’ll drive a Buick through San Juan |
Anita |
If there’s a road you can drive on |
Rosalia |
I’ll give my cousins a free ride |
Anita |
How you get all of them inside? |
All |
Immigrant goes to America |
Many hellos in America; |
Nobody knows in America |
Puerto Rico’s in America! |
Rosalia |
I’ll bring a T.V. to San Juan |
Anita |
If there a current to turn on! |
Rosalia |
I’ll give them new washing machine |
Anita |
What have they got there to keep clean? |
All |
I like the shores of America! |
Comfort is yours in America! |
Knobs on the doors in America |
Wall-to-wall floors in America! |
Rosalia |
When I will go back to San Juan |
Anita |
When you will shut up and get gone? |
Rosalia |
Everyone there will give big cheer! |
Anita |
Everyone there will have moved here! |
