America from West Side Story - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

ANITA
Puerto Rico, my heart devotion
Let it sink back in the ocean
Always the hurricanes blowing
Always the population growing
And the money owing
And sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhatan

Smoke on your pipe and put that in

Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
