[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
We're gonna hand 'em a surprise tonight
We're gonna cut 'em down to size tonight
We said, "Okay, no rumpus, no tricks"
But just in case they jump us, we're ready to mix
Tonight
[Verse 3]
We're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jazz it up
And have us a ball
[Verse 4]
They're gonna get it tonight
The more they turn it on
The harder they'll fall
[Verse 5]
Well, they began it!
Well, they began it!
And we're the ones to stop'em once and for all
Tonight!
[Verse 6]
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 near
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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!
[Verse 9]
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!
[Verse 10]
Tonight, tonight
(We'll be in back of you, boy, right)
Won't be just any night
(You're gonna flatten him good, right)
Tonight there will be no morning star
(One, two, three, one, two, three and then we'll have us a ball tonight)
[Verse 11]
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight
(We're gonna rock it tonight, we're gonna jazz it tonight
And for us stars will stop where they are
(They're gonna get it tonight)
(We're gonna mix it tonight)
[Verse 12]
Today the minutes seem like hours
(They began it, they began it)
The hours go so slowly and still the sky is light
(And we're the ones to stop 'em once and for all)
Oh, moon, grow bright
(The Jets are gonna have their way)
And make this endless day (The Jets are gonna have their day)
Endless night (We're gonna rock it tonight)
Tonight
