America lyrics

Artist  : West side story 
Song : America
 
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
