Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Well, they began it
Well, they began it
And we're the ones to stop 'em once and for all
Tonight
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
The Jets are comin' 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
[Verse 9]
Tonight, tonight won't be just any night
We'll be in back of you, boy, right, we're gonna flatten him good, right
Tonight, there will be no morning star
Womb to tomb, sperm to worm, and then we'll have us a ball tonight
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight
We're gonna rock it tonight, we're gonna jazz it tonight (Tonight, tonight)
And for us, stars will stop where they are
(Late tonight, we're gonna mix it tonight) They're gonna get it tonight, tonight
[Verse 10]
Today, the minutes seem like hours
Anita's gonna have her day, Anita's gonna have her day
The hours go so slowly, and still the sky is light
Bernardo's gonna have his way
To stop them once and for all, to stop them once and for all
[Verse 11]
Oh moon, grow bright
The Sharks are gonna have their way
And make this endless day endless night
The Jets are gonna have their way, we're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight
