Lyrics America (I Like to Be in America) - Trini Lopez

America (I Like to Be in America)

I like to be in America
Ok by me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
Automobile in America
Chromium steel in America
Wire spoke wheel in America
Very big deal in America
I like the city of San Juan
I know a boat you can get on
Everyone there will give big cheer —
Everyone there will have moved here
I’ll drive a buick in San Juan —
If there’s a road you can drive on
I’ll give them new washing machine —
What have they got there to keep clean
Immigrant goes to America
Many helloes in America
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico’s in America
I like the shores of America
Comfort is yours in America
Knobs on the doors in America
Wall to wall floors in America
When I will go back to San Juan —
When will you shut up and get gone
Everyone there will give big cheer —
Everyone there will have moved here
I’ll bring a tv to San Juan —
If there’s a current to turn on
I’ll give them new washing machine —
What have they got there to keep clean
