America (From "West Side Story")

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.
