West Side Story - America (stage) lyrics
Your rating:
ANITA (spoken) At home, at home. If it's so nice "at home" why don't you go back there? ROSALIA I would like to... Just for a successful visit. (sung) 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! GIRLS I like to be in America OK by me in America Everything 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! GIRLS 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? GIRLS Immigrant goes to America Many hellos in America Nobody knows in America Puerto Rico's in America ROSALIA When I will go back to San Juan ANITA When will you shut up and get gone? ROSALIA I'll give them new washing machine ANITA What have they got there to keep clean? GIRLS I like the shores of America Comfort is yours in America Knobs on the doors in America Wall to wall floors in America ROSALIA I'll bring a TV to San Juan ANITA If there's a current to turn on ROSALIA Everyone there will give big cheer! ANITA Everyone there will have moved here!
