Tonight (Quintet)

Lyrics

[JETS, RIFF] The Jets are gonna have their day tonight The Jets are gonna have their way tonight The Puerto Ricans grumble: "Fair fight." But when they start a rumble We'll rumble 'em right [SHARKS, BERNARDO] We're gonna hand 'em a surprise tonight We're gonna cut 'em down to size tonight We said, "O.K., no rumpus, no tricks." But just in case they jump us We're ready to mix Tonight! [JETS, SHARKS] We're gonna rock it tonight We're gonna jazz it up and have us a ball They're gonna get it tonight The more they turn it on the harder they'll fall [JETS] Well, they began it! [SHARKS] Well, they began it! [SHARKS & JETS, RIFF] And we're the ones to stop 'em once and for all Tonight! [ANITA] Anita's gonna get her kicks tonight We'll have our private little mix tonight He'll walk in hot and tired, so what? Don't matter if he's tired As long as he's hot Tonight [TONY] Tonight, tonight Won't be just any night Tonight there will be no morning star Tonight, tonight I'll see my love tonight And for us, stars will stop where they are [MARIA, TONY & MARIA] Today The minutes seem like hours The hours go so slowly And still the sky is light Oh moon, grow bright And make this endless day endless night [RIFF, JETS] The Jets are coming out on top tonight We're gonna watch Bernardo drop tonight That Puerto Rican punk'll go down And when he's hollered "Uncle" We'll tear up the town! [MARIA, RIFF, ICE] Tonight, tonight (We'll be in back of you, boy, Right) Won't be just any night (We're gonna flatten him good, Right) Tonight there will be no morning star Womb to tomb? Sperm to worm (And then we'll have us a ball tonight) [MARIA, SHARKS, ANITA, JETS] Tonight, tonight (We're gonna rock it tonight) (Tonight) I'll see my love tonight (We're gonna jazz it tonight) (Tonight) And for us stars will stop where they are (They're gonna get it tonight) (Late tonight, we're gonna mix it tonight) (Tonight) [TONY & MARIA, SHARKS, JETS, ANITA] Today the minutes seem like hours (They began it) (They began it) (Anita's gonna have her day) The hours go so slowly (They began it) (They began it) (Anita's gonna have her day) And still the sky is light (They began it) (And we're the ones...) (Bernardo's gonna have his way) (...to stop them once and for all) (Tonight) (We'll stop them once and for all) (Tonight) Oh moon (The Jets are) (The Sharks are) (Tonight) Grow bright (Gonna have their way) (Gonna have their way) And make this (The Jets are) (The Sharks are) (This very night) Endless day (Gonna have their day) (Gonna have their day) Endless night (We're gonna rock it tonight) (We're gonna rock it tonight) (We're gonna rock it tonight) [ALL] Tonight!
