America 歌詞

America - Karen Olivo/Jennifer Sanchez/West Side Story Ensemble (2009)/New Broadway Cast of West Side Story (2009)

Puerto Rico you lovely island

Island of tropical breezes

 

Always the pineapples growing

Always the coffee blossoms blowing

Puerto Rico you ugly island

Island of tropic diseases

Always the hurricanes blowing

Always the population growing

 

And the money owing

 

And their babies crying

 

And the bullets flying

 

I like the island Manhattan

 

Smoke on your pipe and put that in

 

I like to be in America

Okay by me in America

Everything free in America

For a small fee in America

 

I like the city of San Juan

I know a boat you can get on

 

Hundreds of flowers in full bloom

Hundreds of people in each room

 

Automobile in America

Chromium steel in America

Wired spoke wheel in America

Very big deal in America

 

I'll drive a Buick through San Juan

If there's a road you can drive on

 

I'll give my cousins a free ride

How you get all of them inside

 

Immigrant goes to America

Many hellos in America

Nobody knows in America

Puerto Rico's in America

 

I'll take a T V to San Juan

If there's a current to turn on

 

I'll give them new washing machine

What have they got there to keep clean

 

I like the shores of America

Comfort is yours in America

Knobs on the doors in America

Wall to wall floors in America

 

When I will go back to San Juan

When you will shut up and get gone

 

Everyone there will give big cheer

 

Everyone there would have moved here
