Karaoké America West Side Story (1961 film)

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

I like to be in America

OK by me in America

Everything free in America

For a small fee in America

Buying on credit is so nice

One look at us and they charge twice

I have my own washing machine

What will you have though to keep clean?

Skyscrapers bloom in America

Cadillacs zoom in America

Industry boom in America

Twelve in a room in America

Lots of new housing with more space

Lots of doors slamming in our face

I'll have a terrace apartment

Better get rid of your accent

Life can be bright in America

If you can fight in America

Life is alright in America

If your all-white in America

Here you are free and you have pride

Long as you stay on your own side

Free to be anything you choose

Free to wait tables and shine shoes

Everywhere grime in America

Organized crime in America

Terrible time in America

You forget I'm in America

I think I'll go back to San Juan

I know a boat you can get on bye bye

Huh huh

Everyone there will give big cheer

Everyone there will have moved here
