West Side Story - America Şarkı Sözleri

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


That's right


And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming

I like the island Manhattan


I know you do!


Smoke on your pipe
And put that in


Ole! Ole!

All women
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America


For a small fee in America


Ole!


Buy on credit is so nice


One look at us and they charge twice


I have my own washing machine


What will you have, though, to keep clean


Skyscrapers bloom in America


Cadilacs zoom in America


Industry boom in America


Twelve 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 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

La la la la America
America

La la la la America
America


Here you are free, and you have pride


Long as you stay on your own side


Free to be 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 go back to San Juan


I know a boat you can get on

Bye-bye


Everyone there will give big cheer


Everyone there will have moved here

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Ole!
