West Side Story America Lyrics:
ANITA
Puerto Rico
My heart's devotion
Let it sink back
in the ocean
Always the
hurricanes
blowing
Always the
population
growing
And the money owing
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in!
GIRLS
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
BERNARDO
For a small fee in America
ANITA
Buying a dress, this so nice
BERNARDO
One look at us and
they charge twice
ROSALIA
I have my own
washing machine
INDIO
What do you have
though to keep clean?
GIRLS
Skyscrapers bloom in America
Cadillacs zoom in America
Industry boom in America
BOYS
Twelve in a room in America
ANITA
Lots of new housing
with more space
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/Pk ]BERNARDO
Lots of doors
slaming in our face
ANITA
I'll get a terrace apartment
BERNARDO
Better get rid of
your accent
ANITA
Life can be
bright in America
BOYS
If you can fight in America
GIRLS
Life is all right in America
BOYS
If you're all
white in America
GIRLS
Here you are free and
you have pride
BOYS
Long as you stay on
your own side
GIRLS
Free to be
anything you
choose
BOYS
Free to wait tables
and shine shoes
BERNARDO
Everywhere grime in America
Organized crime in America
Terrible time in America
ANITA
You forget I'm in America
BERNARDO
I think I'll go
back to San Juan
ANITA
I know what boat
you can get on
BERNARDO
Everyone there will
give big cheers
ANITA
Everyone there will
have moved here!
