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!
