W: Stephen Sondheim M: Leonard Bernstein From: �West Side Story� Key: C 6/8 time Puerto Rico You lovely island Island of tropical breezes Always the pineapples growing Always the coffee blossoms blowing Puerto Rico you ugly island Island of tropic diseases Always the huricanes blowing Always the population growing And the money owing And the babies crying And the bullets flying I like the island Manhatten Smoke on your pipe and put that in 3 3 3 4 4 4 -3 -2 1 I like to be in A-mer-i-ca 3 3 3 4 4 4 -5 -4 3 O-k by me in A-mer-i-ca -3* -3* -3* -5* -5*-5* -5-3*-2 Ev-�ry-thing free in A-mer-i-ca -1*-1* -1* 3* 3* 3* 3 6 1 For a small fee in A-mer-i-ca 2 -3 3 2 -3 3 2 2 1 I like the cit-y of San Juan 2 -3 3 4 -3 3 -4 -4-3 I know a boat you can get on -3 -5 5 -3 -5 5 -3 -3 2 Hun-dreds of flow-ers in full bloom -3 -5 5 -6 -5 5 -4 -4 3 Hun-dreds of peo-ple in each room 3 3 3 4 4 4 -3 -2 1 Au-to-mo-bile in A-mer-i-ca 3 3 3 4 4 4 -5 -4 3 Chro-mi-um steel in A-mer-i-ca -3*-3* -3* -5* -5*-5* -5-3*-2 Wi-re spoke wheel in A-mer-i-ca -1*-1* -1 3* 3* 3* 3 6 1 Ver-y big deal in A-mer-i-ca 2 -3 3 2 -3 3 2 2 1 I'll drive a bu-ick through San Juan 2 -3 3 4 -3 3 -4 -4-3 If there's a road you can drive on -3 -5 5 -3 -5 5 -3 -3-2 I'll give my cous-ins a free ride -3 -5 5 -6 -5 5 -4 -4 3 How you fit all of them in-side Im-mi-grant goes to A-mer-i-ca Man-y hel-los in A-mer-i-ca No-bod-y knows in A-mer-i-ca Puer-to Ri-co's in A-mer-i-ca I'll bring a t.-v. to San Juan If there's a chan-nel to turn on I'll bring a new wash-ing ma-chine What have they got there to keep clean I like the shores of A-mer-i-ca Com-fort is your in A-mer-i-ca Knobs on the doors in A-mer-i-ca Wall to wall floors in A-mer-i-ca When I will go back to San Juan When you will shut up and get gone Ev-�ry-one there will be give big cheer Ev-�ry-one there will have moved here (clap clap clap clap)a-yi-yi-yi(x3) |
