[Anita]
Puerto Rico
You lovely island
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapple growing
Always the coffee blossoms blowing
And the money owing
[Women]
And the baby's crying
And the people trying
I like the island Manhattan
[Women]
I know you do!
[Anita]
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in
[Women]
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
[Bernardo]
For a small fee in America
[Anita]
Buy on credit is so nice
[Bernardo]
One look at us and they charge twice
[Women]
I have my own washing machine
[Men sharks]
What will you have don't you keep clean?
[Anita]
Skyscrapers bloom in America
[Women]
Cadilacs zoom in America
[Women]
Industry boom in America
[Sharks]
Twelve in a room 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
[Bernardo]
Better get rid of your accent
[Anita]
Life can be bright in America
[Sharks]
If you can fight in America
[All women]
Life is all right in America
[Sharks]
If you're all-white in America
La la la la America
America
La la la la America
America
[Anita]
Here you are free, and you have pride
[Sharks]
Long as you stay on your own side
[Anita]
Free to be anything you choose
[Sharks]
Free to wait tables and shine shoes
[Bernardo]
Everywhere grime in America
Organized crime in America
Terrible time in America
[Anita]
You forget I'm in America
[Bernardo]
I think I go back to San Juan
[Anita]
I know a boat you can get on
Bye-bye
[Bernardo]
Everyone there will give big cheer
[Anita]
Everyone there will have moved here
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Ole!
