Hey! Hey!
What's this tontería that I'm seeing on the street?
I never thought I'd see the day...
Since when are Latin people scared of heat?
When I was a little girl
Growing up in the hills of Vega Alta
My favorite time of year was Christmas time!
Ask me why!
[CARLA, spoken]
Why?
[DANIELA]
There wasn't an ounce of snow
But, oh, the coquito would flow!
As we sang the aguinaldo
The carnaval would begin to grow!
Business is closed, and we're about to go...
Let's have a carnaval del barrio!
[PIRAGUA GUY]
¡Wepa!

Get off your butt, ¡avanza!
Saca la maraca, bring your tambourine
Come and join the parranda
Hey!

Oh, me, me, me! Dani I have a question
I don't know what you're cantando
[DANIELA]
Just make it up as you go
We are improvisando!
Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai!
You can sing anything!
[CARLA]
Wait, what?
[DANIELA]
Carla, whatever comes into your head
Just so long as you sing!
[CARLA]
Um… My mom is Dominican-Cuban
My dad is from Chile and P.R. which means:
I'm Chile-Domini-Curican...
But I always say I'm from Queens!
[DANIELA]

[VANESSA]
Why is everyone so happy?
We're sweating and we have no power!
I gotta get out of here soon
This block's getting worse by the hour!
You can't even go to a club with a friend
Without having somebody shove you!
[DANIELA]
Ay, por favor
Vanessa, don't pretend that Usnavi's your friend
[CUCA]
We all know that he love you!
[COMMUNITY]
Ohhhh!!
[CARLA]
Wow, now that you mention that sexual tension is easy to see!
[VANESSA]
Yo, this is bogus!

Haven't you noticed

You get all your coffee for free?

Here comes Usnavi!
[USNAVI]
Yo! Yo! Yo, y-y-yo-yo!
Now, now, everyone gather ‘round
Sit down, listen, I got an announcement
Wow, there's nothing here holding me down
The word is out, tell the whole town I'm bouncin'
Atención, I'm closin' shop!
Sonny, grab everybody a soda-pop!
Twist off the bottle, kiss it up to God
I miss Abuela Claudia, it's time to fly though!
Daniela, Carla, pack up the carro
I'm bookin' a flight for D.R. tomorrow!

Oh my god!

[COMMUNITY]
Hey!

[SONNY]
Hold up
Wait a minute!
Usnavi's leavin' us for the Dominican Republic?
And Benny went and stole the girl
That I'm in love with?
She was my babysitter first!
Listen up, is this what y'all want?
We close the bodega
The neighborhood is gone!
They selling the dispatch
And they closing the salón
And they'll never turn the lights back on, ‘cause—
[SONNY/VANESSA]
We are powerless, we are powerless!
[SONNY]
And y'all keep dancin' and singin' and celebratin'
And it's gettin' late and this place disintegratin'
[SONNY/VANESSA]
We are powerless, we are powerless!
[USNAVI]
Alright, we're powerless, so light up a candle
There's nothing going on here that we can't handle
Maybe you're right, Sonny, call in the coroners
Maybe we're powerless, a corner full of foreigners
Maybe this neighborhood's changing forever
Maybe tonight is our last night together, however!
How do you want to face it?
Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it?
Y'all could cry with your head in the sand
I'm a fly this flag that I got in my hand!
[PIRAGUA GUY]
¡P'arriba esa bandera!
