to Live in Lyrics: “I Want America” (from West Side Story) ANITA Lots of doors slamming in our face Puerto Rico My heart's devotion Let it sink back in the ocean ANITA Always the hurricanes blowing I'll get a terrace apartment Always the population growing And the money owing BERNARDO And the sunlight streaming Better get rid of your accent And the natives steaming I like the island Manhattan ANITA Smoke on your pipe Life can be bright in America And put that in! BOYS GIRLS If you can fight in America I like to be in America Okay by me in America GIRLS Everything free in America Life is all right in America BERNARDO BOYS For a small fee in America If you're all white in America ANITA GIRLS Buying on credit is so nice Here you are free and you have pride BERNARDO BOYS One look at us and they charge twice Long as you stay on your own side ROSALIA GIRLS I'll have my own washing machine Free to be anything you choose INDIO BOYS What will you have though to keep clean? Free to wait tables and shine shoes ANITA BERNARDO Skyscrapers bloom in America Everywhere grime in America Organized crime in America ROSALIA Terrible time in America Cadillacs zoom in America ANITA TERESITA You forget I'm in America Industry boom in America BERNARDO BOYS I think I'll go back to San Juan Twelve in a room in America ANITA ANITA I know what boat you can get on Lots of new housing with more space BERNARDO BERNARDO Everyone there will give big cheers
