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! 

 O.K. by me in America! 

 Ev'rything 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 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 T.V. to San Juan. 

 

 ANITA 

 If there a current to turn on! 

 

 ROSALIA 

 I'll give them new washing machine. 

 

 ANITA 

 What have they got there to keep clean? 

 

 ALL 

 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 

 Everyone there will give big cheer! 

 

 ANITA 

 Everyone there will have moved here!
