Lyrics
0:12Puerto Rico you lovely island
0:18Island of tropical breezes
0:24Always the pineapples growing
0:28Always the coffee blossoms blowing
0:33Puerto Rico you ugly island
0:39Island of tropic diseases
0:44Always the hurricanes blowing
0:49Always the population growing
0:53And the money owing
0:56And their babies crying
0:59And the bullets flying
1:02I like the island Manhattan
1:07Smoke on your pipe and put that in
1:16I like to be in America
1:18Okay by me in America
1:21Everything free in America
1:23For a small fee in America
1:30I like the city of San Juan
1:32I know a boat you can get on
1:36Hundreds of flowers in full bloom
1:38Hundreds of people in each room
1:42Automobile in America
1:44Chromium steel in America
1:46Wired spoke wheel in America
1:49Very big deal in America
1:56I'll drive a Buick through San Juan
1:58If there's a road you can drive on
2:01I'll give my cousins a free ride
2:04How you get all of them inside
2:07Immigrant goes to America
2:10Many hellos in America
2:12Nobody knows in America
2:14Puerto Rico's in America
2:58I'll take a T V to San Juan
3:00If there's a current to turn on
3:04I'll give them new washing machine
3:06What have they got there to keep clean
3:10I like the shores of America
3:12Comfort is yours in America
3:14Knobs on the doors in America
3:17Wall to wall floors in America
4:03When I will go back to San Juan
4:06When you will shut up and get gone
4:09Everyone there will give big cheer
4:12Everyone there would have moved here
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 hurricanes blowing Always the population growing And the money owing And their 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 I like the city of San Juan I know a boat you can get on Hundreds of flowers in full bloom Hundreds of people in each room Automobile in America Chromium steel in America Wired spoke wheel in America Very big deal in America I'll drive a Buick through San Juan If there's a road you can drive on I'll give my cousins a free ride How you get all of them inside Immigrant goes to America Many hellos in America Nobody knows in America Puerto Rico's in America I'll take a T V to San Juan If there's a current to turn on I'll give them new washing machine What have they got there to keep clean I like the shores of America Comfort is yours in America Knobs on the doors in America Wall to wall floors in America When I will go back to San Juan When you will shut up and get gone Everyone there will give big cheer Everyone there would have moved here
