West Side Story: America

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!
