West Side tory - América - Rita Moreno e George Chakiris


Letra

ROSALIA:
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!
OTHERS:
I like to be in America!
Okay 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!
ALL:
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 can you get all of them inside?
ALL:
Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America,
Nobody knows in America,
Puerto Rico's in America!
ROSALIA:
I'll bring a TV to San Juan.
ANITA:
If there's a current to turn on!
ROSALIA:
I'll give them new washing machine.
ANITA:
What have they got there to keep clean?
ALL (except Rosalia):
I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in America,
Wall-to-wall floors in America!
ROSALIA:
When I will go back to San Juan -
ANITA:
When you will shut up and get gone!
ROSALIA:
Ev'ryone there will give big cheer!
ANITA:
Ev'ryone there will have moved here!
