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 riding away!
It won’t be long now!
The boys around the way holler at me when I’m walking down the street
Their machismo pride doesn’t break my stride—
It’s a compliment, so they say
The 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 driving 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]
VANESSSSSAAAAAA! I’m thirsty,coño!
[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 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!
Qué pasó? 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
And 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 runnin’ 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 walkin’ to JFK and I’m gonna fly!
It won’t be long now!
Any day

Madame Guillotineon September 4, 2022 at 4:48 am
honestly, her voice is so, so, so nasally that it’s keeping me from liking this song.
not to mention i’ve never been a fan of miranda’s habit of constantly shoving 3-4 different songs (and occasionally a minute long conversation) all into one track.
Lucartson September 4, 2022 at 4:53 am
Lin’s Voice in spanish is as sweet as a piragua

My name’s Vanessa and him singing "Good Morning Vanessa" is soooo going to be my new alarm tone
Half A Kiwion September 4, 2022 at 5:15 am
Usnavi is so adorable when Vanessa said yes like seriously
Desiree Loveroson September 4, 2022 at 5:17 am
So basically Vanessa is going to the store, getting cat called. Then Usnavi is basically like "I’m gonna put my moves on her today" then he gets shot down and Sonny’s like " I can’t watch this train wreck, I gots you bro". Then the drunken granny kills the mood. Sonny’s like " I’m gonna be the perfect wingman today, Check out that schmuck- see him? Right there? D A T E H I M" and Usnavi like " BRO!" and Vanessa’s like " Erm- Okay?" Usnavi just like JAW DROPPED and just starts hopping around like a mexican jumping bean and Sonny’s like " Yeah man I did it " and Usnavi’s like " Dude! I owe you for LIFE!" and then Usnavi like " Damn what’s gonna happen after this date?"
Did I explain the song? Cuz that what’s running through my head whenever I hear it and I just wanted to put it out there
satvrn-skyon September 4, 2022 at 5:17 am

Gerard Yatcillaon September 4, 2022 at 5:20 am

WHAT WOULD BE SUPER COOL IS IF MY SCHOOL PUT ON A PRODUCTION OF THIS
BUT IT WAS GENDERBENT
THAT WAY I COULD AUDITION FOR USNAVI AND SAY ALL HIS LINES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE
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!
Or
Yo, I can’t see, quit shovin’ you son of a- it’s an oven and we gotta back out, this is a blackout!
Or even
Bartender! Let me get an amaretto sour for this ghetto flower! How are you so pretty? You complete me, you had me at "hello," you know you need me truly, madly, deeply, let’s get freaky. Oh I get it you’re the strong and silent type, well, I’m the Caribbean island type. And I can drive you wild all night! But I digress! Say something so I don’t stress. (No hablo ingles) Yes!
Like why are there so many
Damn, we only jokin’, stay broke then!
fricking good lines
Yo, yo, yo y-y-yo, yo now, now, everyone gather round, sit down, listen I got an announcement. Wow, it involves large amounts it’s somewhere in the range of 96,000
Lin how
I am Usnavi and you prob’ly never heard my name, reports of my fame are greatly exaggerated. Exacerbated by the fact that my syntax is highly complicated cuz’ I emigrated from the single greatest little place in the Caribbean; Dominican Republic, I love it! Jesus, I’m jealous of it, and beyond that, ever since my folks passed on, I haven’t gone back. Goddamn, I gotta get on that…
do you
Lights out on Washington Heights and now the crack of dawn. The blackout goes on and on and on…
do this?
Vanessa, forget about what’s good again, dance with me one last night in the hood again! (Wepa!)
