i like to be in america

ok by me in america

everything free in america

for a small fee in america



i like the city of san juan

i know a boat you can get on

hundreds of flowers in full bloom

hundreds of people in each room



automobile in america

chromium steel in america

wire spoke wheel in america

very big deal in america



i'll drive a buick in san juan -

if there's a road you can drive on

i'll give my cousins a free ride -

how you fit all of them inside



immigrant goes to america

many helloes in america

nobody knows in america

puerto rico's in america



when i will go back to san juan -

when will you shut up and get gone

i'll give them new washing machine -

what have they got there to keep clean



i like the shores of america

comfort is yours in america

knobs on the doors in america

wall to wall floors in america



i'll bring a tv to san juan -

if there's a current to turn on

everyone there will give big cheer -

everyone there will have moved here
