West Side Story Orchestra, Marni Nixon, Johnny Green, Betty Wand and Jim Bryant - West Side Story: Act II: Tonight - Quintet

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
We're gonna hand 'em a surprise tonight
We're gonna cut 'em down to size tonight
We said okay 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 up the harder they fall
Well they began it
Well they began it
And we're the ones to stop it 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
Poor dear
Don't matter if he's tired
As long as he's here
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 glow 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 (we'll be in back of you, boy) (right)
Won't be just any night (you're gonna flatten him good) (right)
Tonight there will be no morning star (one, two, three, one, two, three)
(And then we'll have us a ball tonight)
Tonight, tonight (we're gonna rock it tonight) (tonight)
I'll see my love tonight (we're gonna jazz it tonight) (tonight)
And for us, stars will stop where they are (they're gonna get it tonight)
(We're gonna mix it tonight)
Today the minutes seem like hours (they began it)
The hours go so slowly and still the sky is light (they began it) (and we're the ones)
(To stop 'em once and for all, to stop 'em once and for all)
Oh moon, grow bright (the Sharks are gonna have their way)
And make this endless day, endless night (the Jets are gonna have their day)
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight
