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 I like to be in America Okay, buy me in America Get 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 Building a room in America Lots of new housing with more space Lots of door 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 alright in America If you're a white in America La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la America Here you are free and you have a prize Nothing to stay on your wrong side Free to be anything you choose We do it in those sunshine shoes I like to be in America Okay, buy me in America Get everything free in America For a small fee in America I like to be in America Okay, buy me in America Get everything free in America For a small fee in America La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la America America
