America

歌詞

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!
