Lyrics

Puerto Rico
 You lovely island
 Island of tropical breezes
 Always the pineapples growing
 Always the coffee blossoms blowing
 And the money owing
 And the baby's crying
 And the people trying
 I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)
 Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
 I like to be in America
 Okay, buy 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 do you have don't you keep clean?
 Skyscrapers bloom in America
 Cadillacs zoom in America
 Industry boom in America
 12 in a room in America
 Lots of new housing with more space
 (Lots of doors slamming in our face)
 I'll get a terrace apartment
 Better you get rid of your accent
 Life can be bright in America
 If you can fight in America
 Life is all right in America
 If you're all white in America
 ♪
 America
 La, la, la, la, la, la, America
 America
 Here you are free and you have pride
 Long as you stay on your own side
 Free to do 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!)
 Everyone there will give big cheer! (Hey)
 Everyone there will have moved here
 Aw, aw, aw!
 Aw, aw, aw!
 Aw, aw, aw!
 ♪
 Hey (hey)
 Hey (hey)
 ♪
 Hey
 Hi
 Hey, ha
 ♪
 Hey!
