VANESSA The elevated train by my window doesn't faze me anymore The rattling screams don't disrupt my dreams It's a lullaby, in its way The elevated train drives everyone insane but I don't mind, oh no When I bring back boys they can't tolerate the noise And that's okay cuz I never let them stay And one day, I'm hoppin that elevated train and I'm ridin away It won't be long now The boys around the way Holler at me when I'm walkin down the street Their machismo pride doesn't break my stride- It's a compliment, so they say They boys around the way Holler at me every day but I don't mind, oh no If I'm in the mood, it will not be with some dude Who is whistling cuz he has nothing to say Or who's honking at me from his Chevrolet And one day, I'm hoppin in a limousine and I'm ridin away It won't be long now Ay ,Usnavi, help SOS! USNAVI Good morning, Vanessa! If it isn't the loveliest girl in the place VANESSA You've got some schmutz on your face SONNY Good morning! SONNY/USNAVI Good morning! USNAVI Vanessa... SONNY Vanessa... USNAVI/SONNY Vanessa... DANIELA (Screaming from the salon) VANESSAAA! I'm thirsty, cono! VANESSA Can I get a Pepsi and some packing tape? SONNY Uh, my cousin over there with his tongue hanging out, has been meaning to ask you... VANESSA Yes? SONNY What would a lady such as yourself might be doing tonight? VANESSA Does your cousin dance? SONNY Like a drunk Chita Rivera VANESSA Okay...after Nina's dinner, we can hit a few clubs and check out the fireworks... USNAVI Oh snap! Who's that? Don't touch me, I'm too hot! Yes! Que paso? Here I go! So dope! Y tu lo sabes! No pare SONNY/USNAVI Sigue sigue! USNAVI Did you see me? SONNY/USNAVI Freaky Freakit! USNAVI What a way to begin the weekend Sonny, anything you want is free, man! And my dearly beloved Dominican Republic I haven't forgotten SONNY /USNAVI You! USNAVI Gonna see this honey Make a little money An one day I'll hop Jet SONNY/USNAVI Blue! USNAVI But until that fateful day I'm grateful I got a destination I'm runnin to make it home And home's what Vanessa's runnin away from! I'm running to make it home And home's what Vanessa's runnin away from... VANESSA The neighborhood salon is the place I am working for the moment As I cut their hair, ladies talk and share- Every day, who's doing who and why The neighborhood salon doesn't pay me what I wanna be making but I don't mind As I sweep the curb I can hear those turbo engines blazing a trail through the sky I look up and think about the years gone by But one day I'm walking to JFK and I'm gonna fly! It won't be long now Any day |
