The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight

The Sharks are gonna have their way

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 AND JETS
We're gonna cut 'em down to size
Tonight

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

ALL
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!

RIFF AND JETS
Well, they began it!

BERNARDO AND SHARKS
Well, they began it!

ALL
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!

(RIFF, TONY, and MARIA sing simultaneously)

RIFF
So I can count on you, boy?

TONY
All right

RIFF
We're gonna have us a ball

TONY
All right

Womb to tomb!

TONY
Sperm to worm!

RIFF
I'll see you there about eight

MARIA
Tonight, tonight
Won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star,
