Tonight

RIFF 
The Jets are gonna have their day 
Tonight. 

BERNARDO 
The Sharks are gonna have their way 
Tonight. 

RIFF 
The Puerto Ricans grumble: "Fair fight." 
But if they start a rumble, 
We'll rumble 'em right. 

BERNARDO 
We're gonna hand 'em a surprise 
Tonight. 

RIFF AND JETS 
We're gonna cut 'em down to size 
Tonight. 

BERNARDO AND SHARKS 
We said, "O.K., no rumpus, 
No tricks." 
But just in case they jump us, 
We're ready to mix 
Tonight. 

ALL 
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! 

RIFF AND JETS 
Well, they began it! 

BERNARDO AND SHARKS 
Well, they began it! 

ALL 
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 
I'm 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, TONY, and MARIA sing simultaneously) 

RIFF 
So I can count on you, boy? 

TONY 
All right. 

RIFF 
We're gonna have us a ball. 

TONY 
All right. 

RIFF 
Womb to tomb! 

TONY 
Sperm to worm! 

RIFF 
I'll see you there about eight. 

TONY 
Tonight . . . 

MARIA 
Tonight, tonight 
Won't be just any night, 
Tonight there will be no morning star,

They're gonna get it tonight, 
They began it,

We're gonna rock it tonight.

Oh moon, grow bright,
