America

[00:16.43] Puerto Rico,
[00:19.76] You lovely island . . .
[00:22.62] Island of tropical breezes.
[00:27.15] Always the pineapples growing,
[00:32.35] Always the coffee blossoms blowing . . .
[00:36.59] Puerto Rico . . .
[00:39.27] You ugly island . . .
[00:42.56] Island of tropic diseases.
[00:48.17] Always the hurricanes blowing,
[00:51.86] Always the population growing . . .
[00:56.12] And the money owing,
[00:58.81] And the babies crying,
[01:01.75] And the bullets flying.
[01:04.94] I like the island Manhattan.
