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!
