West Side Story - Tonight (ensemble) (stage) lyrics

Your rating:

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

We're gonna cut 'em down to size

Tonight



BERNARDO

We said OK, no rumpus

No tricks

But just in case they jump us

We're ready to mix

Tonight



RIFF and BERNARDO

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



RIFF

Well they began it!



BERNARDO

Well they began it!



RIFF and BERNARDO

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



MARIA 

Tonight, tonight

Won't be just any night...

(she reprises the same chorus that TONY has just sung)



RIFF

So can I 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 abought eight



TONY

Tonight...



BERNARDO

We're gonna rock it tonight



ANITA

Tonight



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



BERNARDO

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!



RIFF

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!
