LETRAS DE LAS CANCIONES

Para que puedas cantar y disfrutar con nosotros durante el musical.

AMERICA

Puerto Rico

You lovely island

Island of tropical breezes

Always the pineapples growing

Always the coffee blossoms blowing

And the money owing

And the baby's crying

And the people trying

I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)

Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

I like to be in America

Okay, buy me in America

Everything free in America

For a small fee in America

Buying on credit is so nice

One look at us and they charge twice

I have my own washing machine

What do you have don't you keep clean?

Skyscrapers bloom in America

Cadillacs zoom in America

Industry boom in America

12 in a room in America

Lots of new housing with more space

(Lots of doors slamming in our face)

I'll get a terrace apartment

Better you get rid of your accent

Life can be bright in America

If you can fight in America

Life is all right in America

If you're all white in America

America

La, la, la, la, la, la, America

America

JETS SONG

When you're a Jet

You're a Jet all the way

From your first cigarette

To your last dyin' day

When you're a Jet

If the spit hits the fan

You got brothers around

You're a family man

You're never alone

You're never disconnected

You're home with your own

When company's expected

You're well protected!

Then you are set with a capital J

Which you'll never forget

'Til they cart you away

When you're a Jet

You stay a Jet!

 

When you're a Jet

You're the top cat in town

You're the gold-medal kid

With the heavyweight crown!

When you're a Jet

You're the swingin'est thing

Little boy, you're a man

Little man, you're a king!

The Jets are in gear

Our cylinders are clickin'!

The Sharks'll steer clear

'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican

'S a lousy chicken!

Here come the Jets

Like a bat out of hell

Someone gets in our way

Someone don't feel so well!

Here come the Jets!

Little world, step aside

Better go underground

Better run, better hide!

We're drawin' the line

So keep your noses hidden!

We're hangin' a sign

Says, "Visitors Forbidden"

And we ain't kiddin'!

Here come the Jets

Yeah! And we're gonna beat

Every last buggin' gang

On the whole buggin' street!

On the whole!

Ever!

Mother!

Lovin'!

Street!

Yeah!

SINGING IN THE RAIN

I'm singing in the rain

Just singing in the rain

What a glorious feeling

I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

 

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

I walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singing,

Singing in the rain

 

Dancing in the rain

I'm happy again!

I'm singing and dancing in the rain

I'm dancing and singing in the rain

 

Why am I smiling

And why do I sing?

Why does September

Seem sunny as spring?

Why do I get up

Each morning and start

Happy and head up

With joy in my heart

Why is each new task

A trifle to do?

 

Because I am living

A life full of you.

CITY OF STARS

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

There's so much that I can't see

 

Who knows?

I felt it from the first embrace

I shared with you

 

That now

Our dreams

They've finally come true

 

City of stars

Just one thing everybody wants

There in the bars and through the smokescreen

Of the crowded restaurants

It's love

Yes, all we're looking for is love

From someone else

 

A rush

A glance

A touch

A dance

 

To look in somebody's eyes

To light up the skies

To open the world and send me reeling

A voice that says

I'll be here, and you'll be alright

 

I don't care if I know

Just where I will go

'Cause all that I need, this crazy feeling

Ra-ta-tat of my heart

Think I want it to stay

 

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

You never shined so brightly

A LOVELY NIGHT

The sun is nearly gone

The lights are turning on

A silver shine that stretches to the sea

We've stumbled on a view

That's tailor-made for two

What a shame those two are you and me

Some other girl and guy

Would love this swirling sky

But there's only you and I

And we've got no shot

This could never be

You're not the type for me (really?)

And there's not a spark in sight

What a waste of a lovely night

You say there's nothing here?

Well, let's make something clear

I think I'll be the one to make that call (but you'll call?)

And though you looked so cute

In your polyester suit (it's wool)

You're right, I'd never fall for you at all

And maybe this appeals

To someone not in heels

Or to any girl who feels

There's some chance for romance

But, I'm frankly feeling nothing

Is that so?

Or it could be less than nothing

Good to know, so you agree?

That's right

What a waste of a lovely night

SUMMER NIGHTS

Summer loving had me a blast

Summer loving happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me

Met a boy cute as can be

 

Summer days drifting away

To, oh, oh, those summer nights

 

Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more

Like, does he have a car?

 

She swam by me, she got a cramp

He ran by me, got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned

He showed off, splashing around

 

Summer Sun, something's begun

But, oh, oh, those summer nights

 

Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more

Did she put up a fight?

 

Took her bowling in the arcade

We went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed out till ten o'clock

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT

I got chills, they're multiplyin'

And I'm losin' control

'Cause the power you're supplyin'

It's electrifyin'!

 

You better shape up

'Cause I need a man

And my heart is set on you

You better shape up

You better understand

To my heart I must be true

Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do

 

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh

The one I need (the one I need)

Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

 

If you're filled with affection

You're too shy to convey

Meditate in my direction

Feel your way

Wow

 

I better shape up

'Cause you need a man

(I need a man who can keep me satisfied)

I better shape up

If I'm gonna prove

(You better prove that my faith is justified)

Are you sure?

'Cause I'm sure down deep inside

 

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh

The one I need (the one I need)

Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

 

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh

The one I need (the one I need)

Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

 

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one, the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh

The one I need (the one I need)

Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

 

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one, the one I want)

Oh-oh-oh

The one I need (the one I need)

ALL THAT JAZZ

Come on babe why don't we paint the town And all that jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees

and roll my stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car, I know a whoopee spot where the gin is cold but the piano's hot!

It's just a noisy hall where there's a nightly brawl

And all that jazz

Skidoo!

And all that Jazz

Hotcha! Whoopee!

And all that jazz

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Slick your hair

And wear your buckle shoes

And all that Jazz

I hear that Father Dip is gonna blow the blues

And all that Jazz

Hold on, hon, we're gonna bunny hug

I bought some aspirin Down at United Drug

In case you shake apart and want a brand new start

To do that jazz

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

And all that jazz

Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

And all that jazz

Show her where to park her girdle

Oh, her mother's blood'll curdle

If she'd hear her baby's queer

And all that…jazz

No, I'm no one's wife

But, Oh, I love my life

And all.... that .. .Jazz!

That Jazz!

FOOTLOOSE

Been working so hard

I'm punching my card

Eight hours for what?

Oh, tell me what I got

I've got this feeling

That time's just holding me down

I'll hit the ceiling

Or else I'll tear up this town

 

So now I gotta cut loose

Footloose

Kick off the Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

Everybody cut footloose

 

You're playing so cool

Obeying every rule

Deep way down in your heart

You're burning, and yearning for some

Somebody to tell you

That life ain't passing you by

I'm trying to tell you

It will if you don't even try

You'll get by if you'd only

 

Cut loose

Footloose

Kick off the Sunday shoes

Oo-wee Marie

Shake it, shake it for me

Whoa, Milo

Come on, come on let's go

Lose your blues

Everybody cut footloose

 

Yeah, ooh-oh-oh

(Cut footloose)

Yeah, ooh-oh-oh

(Cut footloose)

Yeah, ooh-oh-oh

(Cut footloose)

Ooh

You've got to turn me around

And put your feet on the ground

Gotta take the hold of all

Aah

Aah

Aah

I'm turning it loose

 

Footloose

Kick off the Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

Everybody cut footloose (Footloose)

 

Footloose (Footloose)

Kick off the Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

 

Everybody cut, everybody cut

Everybody cut, everybody cut

Everybody cut, everybody cut

(Everybody)

Everybody cut footloose!

MAMMA MIA

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn

I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

(Just one look) and I can hear a bell ring

(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

Mamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again

My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know

My, my, I could never let you go

GIMME GIMME!

Is there a man out there

Someone to hear my prayer?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Won't somebody help me

Chase the shadows away?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness

To the break of the day

Movie stars

Find the end of the rainbow

With a fortune to win

It's so different from

The world I'm living in

Tired of TV

I open the window

And I gaze into the night

But there's nothing there to see

No one in sight

Is there a man out there

Someone to hear my prayer?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Won't somebody help me

Chase the shadows away?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness

To the break of the day

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Won't somebody help me

Chase the shadows away?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness

To the break of the day

DANCING QUEEN

Ooh

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

 

Friday night and the lights are low

Looking out for a place to go

Where they play the right music

Getting in the swing

You come to look for a king

 

Anybody could be that guy

Night is young and the music's high

With a bit of rock music

Everything is fine

You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance

 

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet

Only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

 

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

 

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on

Leave them burning and then you're gone

Looking out for another, anyone will do

You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance

 

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet

Only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

 

dancing queen….

 

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl….. (guitarra)

Watch that scene….. (guitarra)

Digging the dancing queen
