Tonight (Ensemble)

The Neighborhood - 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
(Riff and the Jets, Bernardo and the Sharks, Anita Maria and Tony all wait expectantly for the coming of night.)

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 'em right.

We're gonna hand 'em a surprise
Tonight
We're gonna cut 'em down to size
Tonight.

We said "O. K. 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 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!

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!

Tonight, tonight
Won't be just any night, etc.

So I can count on you, boy!
All right
We're gonna have us a ball
All right
All right
Womb to tomb!
Sperm to worm!
I'll see you there about eight...
Tonight...
We're gonna rock it tonight!!
Tonight...

We're gonna jazz it up and have us a ball!
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
Tonight!
The Sharks are gonna have their way
The Sharks are gonna have their day
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight!

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

They began it, they began it
We'll stop 'em once and for all!
The Jets are gonna have their way
The Jets are gonna have their day
We're gonna rock it 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!
Tonight!

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!
