Colin Hay - Puerto Rico Lyrics
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

Colin Hay Puerto Rico Comments
Just ran into your first solo album to a pleasant surprise of this cool song. I remembered seeing you with Men at Work in San Juan (along with The Motels & Survivor). GREAT concert! I love all your music.
It's a shame that no one from Puerto Rico had place a comment here. Sorry for my late comment and thank you, thank you Mr. Colin for such a beatifull song of my country. It deserves air play every day. But most of my people don't aprecciate and understand your talent. Once again thank you for such a pretty, classy and happy song.
From Bayamón: I always remember this one and I always post it in my Facebook. Me encanta tu mensaje RESPECT!
fantastic...........
