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! |
