Chita Rivera, Marilyn Cooper - America Lyrics

Lyrics America - Chita Rivera & Marilyn Cooper



Puerto Rico, you lovely island
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapples growing
Always the coffee blossom blowing
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!
I like to be in America!
Okay by me in America!
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America!
I like the city of San Juan
I know a boat you can get on
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom
Hundreds of people in each room!
Automobile in America
Chromium steel in America
Wirespoke wheel in America
Very big deal in America!
I′ll drive a Buick through San Juan
If there's a road you can drive on
I′ll give my cousins a free ride
How you get all of them inside?
Immigrants goes to America
Many hellos in America
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico's in America!
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?
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 you will shut up and get gone?
Everyone there will give big cheer!
Everyone there will have moved here



Writer(s): Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim
