Tonight (Quintet And Chorus)

(Album: West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 1957)

[Jets:]
The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight

[Sharks:]
The Sharks are gonna have their way
Tonight

[Jets:]
The Puerto Ricans grumble: "Fair fight"
But if they start a rumble
We'll rumble 'em right

[Sharks:]
We're gonna hand 'em a surprise
Tonight

[Jets:]
We're gonna cut 'em down to size
Tonight

[Sharks:]
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!

[Jets & Sharks:]
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
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:]
We're counting on you to be there
Tonight
When Diesel wins it fair and square
Tonight
That Puerto Rican punk'll
Go down
And when he's hollered "Uncle"
We'll tear up the town!

[Riff:]
So I can count on you, boy?

[Tony:]
All right

[Maria:]
Tonight, tonight

[Riff:]
We're gonna have us a ball

[Tony:]
All right

[Maria:]
Won't be just any night

[Riff:]
Womb to tomb!

[Tony:]
Sperm to worm!

[Maria:]
Tonight there will be no morning star

[Riff:]
I'll see you there about eight

[Tony:]
Tonight

[Maria:]
Tonight, tonight

[Sharks:]
We're gonna rock it tonight!

[Anita:]
Tonight

[Maria:]
I'll see my love tonight

[Jets:]
We're gonna jazz it tonight!

[Maria:]
And for us, stars will stop where they are

[Anita:]
Tonight
Late tonight

[Sharks:]
They're gonna get it tonight

[Jets:]
Tonight!

[Anita:]
We're gonna mix it tonight

[Maria & Tony:]
Today the minutes seem like hours
The hours go so slowly
And still the sky is light

[Sharks:]
They began it

[Anita:]
Anita's gonna have her day

[Jets:]
They began it

[Sharks:]
They began it

[Jets:]
And we're the ones
To stop 'em once and for all!

[Anita:]
Anita's gonna have her day
Bernardo's gonna have his way
Tonight, tonight

[Maria & Tony:]
Oh moon, grow bright

[Sharks:]
We'll stop 'em once and for all
The Sharks are gonna have their way

[Jets:]
The Jets are gonna have their way

[Anita:]
Tonight

[Maria & Tony:]
And make this endless day endless night

[Sharks:]
The Sharks are gonna have their day

[Jets:]
The Jets are gonna have their day

[Anita:]
This very night

[Maria & Tony:]
Tonight!

[Sharks:]
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight!

[Jets:]
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight!

[Anita:]
We're gonna rock it tonight!
Tonight!
