Betty Wand/George Chakiris America Lyrics
            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!
            k___s 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!
