America from West Side Story - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

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.
 Juano: What will you have, though, to keep clean?
 Anita: Skyskrapers bloom in America.
 Girl 1: Cadillacs zoom in America.
 Girl 2: Industry boom in America.

 Anita: Lots of new housing with more space.
 Bernardo: Lots of doors slamming in our face.
 Anita: I'll get a terrace apartment.

 All Girls: Life is all right in America.
 All Boys: If you're all white in America.

 Organized crime in America,
 Terrible time in America.
