America
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 (I know you do)
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 in 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
Cadilacs 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 a white in America
Lalalala America, America
Lalalala America, America
Here you are free and you have pride
Long as you stay on your own side
Free to be anything you choose
Free to wait tables and shine shoes
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
Lalalala America
Lalalala America
Lalalala America
Lalalala America
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 (I know you do)
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 in 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
Cadilacs 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 a white in America
Lalalala America, America
Lalalala America, America
Here you are free and you have pride
Long as you stay on your own side
Free to be anything you choose
Free to wait tables and shine shoes
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
Lalalala America
Lalalala America
Lalalala America
Lalalala America
