West Side Story - America
------------------------------------------

AMERICA
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 (chorus) 
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 
Skyscrapers bloom in America. 

ANOTHER GIRL 
Cadillacs zoom in America. 

ANOTHER GIRL 
Industry boom in America. 

BOYS 
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 AND THREE GIRLS 
Life can be bright in America. 

BERNARDO 
If you can fight in America. 

ALL GIRLS 
Life is all right in America. 

ALL BOYS 
If you're all white in America. 

(an interlude of WHISTLING and DANCING) 

ANITA AND CONSUELO 
Here you are free and you have pride. 

BERNARDO 
Long as you stay on your own side. 

ANITA 
Free to be anything you choose. 

ALL BOYS 
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. 

(An interlude of MORE DANCING) 

BERNARDO 
I think I go back to San Juan 

ANITA 
I know a boat you can get on. 

BERNARDO 
Everyone there will give big cheer. 

ANITA 
Everyone there will have moved here.
