Lyrics
I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything's 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
Wire-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 bring a TV 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
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad, shooting sparks into space
Today the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here we are
And what was just a world
Is a star
Tonight
Dear kindly social worker
They say you earn a buck
Like be a soda jerker
Which means, like, be a schmuck
It's not I'm antisocial
I'm only anti-work
Glory, Osky!
That's why I'm a jerk
Gee, Officer Krupky, you've done it again
This boy don't need a job, he needs a year in the pen
It ain't just a question of misunderstood
Deep down inside him, he's no good
I'm no good?
We're no good!
We're no good, we're no earthly good
Like the best of us is no damn good
The trouble is he's crazy
The trouble is he drinks
The trouble is he's lazy
The trouble is he stinks
The trouble is he's growing
The trouble is he's growing
Krupky, we've got troubles of our own
Gee, Officer Krupky, we're down on our knees
'Cause no one wants a fellow with a social disease
Gee, Officer Krupky, what are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupky, krup you!
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Someday, somewhere, somewhere
