David Alvarez, Sharks, Ariana Debose, Ana Isabelle, Shark Girls - America lyrics

Puerto Rico
You lovely island
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapples growing
Always the coffee blossoms blowing
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!

I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America

For a small fee in America

Buying on credit is so nice

One look at us and they charge twice

I have my own washing machine

What will you have though to keep clean?

Skyscrapers bloom in America
Cadillacs zoom in America
Industry boom in America

Twelve in a room in America

Lots of new housing with more space

Lots of doors slamming in our face

I'll get a terrace apartment

Better get rid of your accent

Life can be bright in America

If You Can Fight In America

Life is all right in America

If you're all white in America

La la la la la la, America
America
La la la la la la, America

America

Here you are free and you have pride

Long as you stay on your own side

Free to do anything you choose

Free to wait tables and shine shoes

Everywhere grime in America
Organized crime in America
Terrible time in America

You forget I'm in America

I think I'll go back to San Juan

I know a boat you can get on (Bye Bye!)

Everyone there will give big cheer!

Everyone there will have moved here
