The Jets are gonna have their day tonight
The Jets are gonna have their way tonight

The Puerto Ricans grumble: "Fair fight"
But when 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'll 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 a 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

The Jets are coming 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!

Tonight, tonight ([Ice:] We'll be in back of you, boy, [Riff:] Right)
Won't be just any night ([Ice:] We're gonna flatten him good, [Riff:] Right)
Tonight there will be no morning star
([Riff:] Womb to tomb? [Ice:] Sperm to worm)
([Riff:] And then we'll have us a ball tonight)

Tonight, tonight ([Sharks:] We're gonna rock it tonight) ([Anita:] Tonight)
I'll see my love tonight ([Jets:] We're gonna jazz it tonight) ([Anita:] Tonight)
And for us stars will stop where they are
([Sharks:] They're gonna get it tonight) ([Jets:] They're gonna get it tonight)
([Anita:] Late tonight, we're gonna mix it tonight)


Today, the minutes seem like hours

Anita's gonna have her day

They began it

Anita's gonna have her day

They began it

The hours go so slowly and still the sky is light

Bernardo's gonna have his way tonight, tonight

They began it

And we're the ones to stop them once and for all

To stop them once and for all

Oh moon, grow bright

The Sharks are gonna have their way (The Jets are gonna have their way)

Tonight, this very night

The Sharks are gonna have their day (The Jets are gonna have their day)

And make this endless day, endless night

We're gonna rock it tonight

Tonight!
