I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
Ole
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
12 in a room in America
Lots of more 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 alright in America
If you're "all white" in America
Here you are free and you have pride
As long as you stay on your own side
Free to be anything you choose
Free to wait tables and shine shoes
Everywhere crime in America
Organized crime in America
Terrible time in America
You forget I'm in America
I think I'll go back to San Juan
I know a boat you can get on
Everyone there will give big cheer!
Everyone there will have moved here
