Westside Story - America Lyrics

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 Westside Story Lyrics America Lyrics
