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 OK, no rumpus
No tricks
But just in case they jump us
We're ready to mix
Tonight

JETS and SHARKS
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 fall

SHARKS
Well they began it!

JETS
Well they began it!

JETS and 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 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

MARIA
Tonight, tonight

Won't be just any night...
(she reprises the same chorus that she has just sung)

RIFF
We'll be in back of you boy

ICE
Right

RIFF
You're gonna flatten him good

ICE
Right

RIFF
One two three!

ICE
One two three!

RIFF
And then we'll have us a ball
Tonight...

SHARKS
We're gonna rock it tonight

ANITA
Tonight

(all have begun singing at once, reprising what they've sung before)

SHARKS
We're gonna jazz it tonight
They're gonna get 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!

ANITA
Tonight
Late tonight
We're gonna mix it tonight
Anita's gonna have her day
Anita's gonna have her day
Bernardo's gonna have his way
Tonight - tonight
Tonight - this very night
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight!

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!

MARIA
Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight
I'll see my love tonight
When we kiss, stars will stop where they are

TONY and 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
Tonight!
