America Lyrics

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 on credit is so nice  BERNARDO One look at us and they charge twice 
ROSALIA I'll have my own washing machine  INDIO What will you have though to
keep clean?  ANITA Skyscrapers bloom in America  ROSALIA Cadillacs zoom in
America  TERESITA Industry boom in America  BOYS Twelve in a room in America 
ANITA Lots of new housing with more space  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
