Lyrics West Side Story: Act I: America - Leonard Bernstein , Robert Dean , Mike Eldred
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!
Girls
sans
Rosalia:
I
like
to
be
in
America!
O.K.
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!
Girls
sans
Rosalia:
Automobile
in
America.
Chromium
steel
in
America.
Wirespoke
wheel
in
American,
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
American,
Puerto
Rico's
in
America!
I'll
bring
a
T.V.
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
doors
in
American,
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
