Carnaval Del Barrio
DANIELA
Hey!
Hey!
What's this tonteria that I'm seeing on the street?
I thought I'd never 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
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!

CARLA
Ohh, 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 la lo lai lo le lo lai
You can sing anything
Carla, whatever pops into your head
Just so long as you sing
CARLA
My mom is Dominican-Cuban
My dad is from Chile and PR which means
I'm Chile..Domini-curican!
But I always say I'm from Queens!

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

USNAVI
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
Atencion, I'm closing shop
Sonny, grab everybody a soda pop
Yo, grab a bottle, kiss it up to God
Cuz Abuela Claudia just won the lotto
Abuela Claudia won the lotto
We're bookin a flight for DR tomorrow

Hold up, wait a minute
Usnavi's leavin for the Dominican Republic?
And Benny went and stole the girl that I'm in love with?
She was my babysitter first!
Listen up, this is what ya'll want?
We close the bodega
The neighborhood is gone
They selling the dispatch
They closing the salon
And they'll never turn the light back on cuz
WITH VANESSA
We are powerless
We are powerless
SONNY
But ya'll keep dancin and singin and celebratin
But it's getting late and this place is disintegratin and
WITH VANESSA
We are powerless
We are powerless
USNAVI
Alright we are powerless, so light up a candle
There's nothing going on here that we can't handle
SONNY
You don't understand, I'm not trying to be funny
USNAVI
We're gonna give a third of the money to you, Sonny
SONNY
What?
USNAVI
Yeah, yeah
SONNY
For real?
USNAVI
Yes!
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 wanna 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
Parriba esa bandera
Alzala donde quiera
USNAVI
Can we raise our voice tonight?
Can we make a little noise tonight?
PIRAGUA GUY/DANIELA/CARLA

They can hear us across the bridge is East Seacaucus?
