Tonight Quintet

(album: West Side Story - 1961)

[Jets:]
The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight
The Jets are gonna have their way
Tonight
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
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:]
We're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jazz it up and have us a ball

[Sharks:]
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
Poor dear
Don't matter if he's tired
As long as he's here
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:]
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!

[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!

[Riff:]
We'll be in back of you, boy

[Maria:]
Tonight, tonight

[Ice:]
Right

[Riff:]
You're gonna flatten him good

[Maria:]
Won't be just any night

[Ice:]
Right

[Riff:]
One, two three!

[Maria:]
Tonight there will be no morning star

[Ice:]
One, two three!

[Riff:]
And then we'll have us a ball
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

[Sharks:]
They're gonna get it tonight

[Anita:]
Tonight
Late tonight

[Maria & Tony:]
Today the minutes seem like hours

[Sharks:]
They began it

[Jets:]
Tonight!

[Anita:]
We'Re Gonna Mix It Tonight

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

[Jets:]
They began it

[Anita:]
Anita's gonna have her day

[Sharks:]
They began it

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

[Anita:]
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
We're gonna rock it tonight

[Jets:]
The Jets are gonna have their day

[Anita:]
This very night

[Maria & Tony:]
Tonight!

[Sharks:]
Tonight!

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

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