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, okay, 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
 
BOTH GANGS
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, SHARKS, MARIA, TONY, and ANITA sing simultaneously)
 
JETS
The Jets are comin' 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 (to Ice)
We'll be in back of you, boy
 
ICE
Right
 
RIFF
You're gonna flatten him good
 
ICE
Right
 
RIFF
(with proper punch)
ONE, TWO, THREE
 
ICE
(with proper punch)
ONE, TWO, THREE
 
RIFF
And then we'll have us a ball
Tonight
 
BERNARDO AND SHARKS
We're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jazz it tonight
Tonight
They began it - they began it
And we're the ones
To stop 'em once and for all
The Sharks are gonna have their way
The Sharks are gonna have their day
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight
 
RIFF AND JETS
They began it
They began it
We'll stop 'em once and for all
The Jets are gonna have their day
The Jets are gonna have their way
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight
