Puerto Rico

Colin Hay

Composed by: Colin Hay
Lolita standing on the corner 
Such beauty in one so young 
Her eyes stare only for a moment 
With the sun's glare 
She is gone 
It's one world, one world to another 
No warning of things to come 
The splendour one side of the picture 
Only one glimpse have to run 

It's OK down in Puerto Rico 
All the people say 
Must come back here some day 
It's OK down in Puerto Rico 
Come what may there's always church on Sunday 

It's midday 
All the streets are quiet 
People sleep through the hot day sun 
With darkness atmosphere's appealing 
The night holds promise of things to come 

It's OK here in Puerto Rico 
All the people sway 
We slip into a new day 
It's OK here in Puerto Rico 
If there's a way we'll come back here some day 

It's one bar then onto another 
In the centre of old San Juan 
Ten thousand people standing on the sidewalks 
I drink with each and every one 

It's OK here in Puerto Rico 
All the people say you must come back here someday 
It's OK here in Puerto Rico 
Come what may there's always church on Sunday 

It's OK here in Puerto Rico 
As the people sway
We drink into a new day 
It's OK here in Puerto Rico 
If there's a way we'll come back here some day
