(the "I want to live in America" effect
The actual line is "I like to be in America."
I don't remember how Bernstein wrote this, but I'd write it with one combined time signature 6/8 and 3/4 and think that that was pretty clear. It seems cluttered to change time signatures every measure for something as consistent as this example. I'd trust musicians to understand that in a flash.

I have the score in front of me. He writes it as "6/8 (3/4)" with the header "Tempo di Huapango (fast)." The beaming of the hemiolated (3/4) measures is inconsistent.
