[Anita]
Puerto Rico
You lovely island
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapple growing
Always the coffee blossoms blowing
And the money owing[Women]
And the baby's crying
And the people tryingI like the island Manhattan[Women]
I know you do![Anita]
Smoke on your pipe
And put that inAll women
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America[Bernardo]
For a small fee in America[Anita]
Buy on credit is so nice[Bernardo]
One look at us and they charge twice[Women]
I have my own washing machine[Men sharks]
What will you have don't you keep clean?[Anita]
Skyscrapers bloom in America[Women]
Cadilacs zoom in America[Women]
Industry boom in America[Sharks]
Twelve in a room in America[Anita]
Lots of new housing with more space[Bernardo]
Lots of doors slamming in our face[Anita]
I'll get a terrace apartment[Bernardo]
Better get rid of your accent[Anita]
Life can be bright in America[Sharks]
If you can fight in America[All women]
Life is all right in America[Sharks]
If you're all-white in AmericaLa la la la America
AmericaLa la la la America
America[Anita]
Here you are free, and you have pride[Sharks]
Long as you stay on your own side[Anita]
Free to be anything you choose[Sharks]
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 go back to San Juan[Anita]
I know a boat you can get onBye-bye[Bernardo]
Everyone there will give big cheer[Anita]
Everyone there will have moved hereGo! Go! Go! Go!Ole!
