West Side Story Quotes

Anita ], my heart's devotion,Let it sink back in the ocean.Always the hurricanes blowing,Always the population growingAnd the money owing,And the sunlight streamingAnd the natives steaming.I like the island of Manhattan,Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

Quotes about West Side Story Got to Chicago, got to this high school. People actually sang the song from West Side Story, “Puerto Rico, my heart’s devotion, let it sink into the ocean,” at me in the halls of the school. I thought I was privileged to come from where I came from.
