Lyrics
The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight
The Sharks are gonna have their way
Tonight
The Puerto Ricans grumble
"Fair fight"
But if they start a rumble
We'll rumble them right
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!
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
Well, they began it!
Well, they began it!
And we're the ones to stop 'em once and for all
Tonight!
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
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
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
Tonight, tonight (So I can count on you, boy? All right)
Won't be just any night (We're gonna have us a ball! All right)
Tonight there will be no morning star (Womb to tomb.) (Sperm to worm)
I'll see you there about eight
Tonight
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)
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 'em once and for all) (Tonight)
(We'll stop 'em 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)
Tonight!
