Quintet Lyrics

West Side Story Quintet

JETS
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
SHARKS
We're gonna hand'em a surprise
Tonight
We're gonna cut'em down to size
Tonight
We said 'OK no rumpus
No tricks'
But just in case they jump us
We're ready to mix
Tonight
JETS
We're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jazz it up
And have us a ball
SHARKS
They're gonna get it tonight
The more they turn it on
The harder they'll fall
JETS
Well they began it
SHARKS
Well they began it
JETS & SHARKS
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
Poor dear!
Don't matter if he's tired
As long as he's near
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
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
JETS
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
RIFF : We'll be backing you boy
ICE : Right
RIFF : You're gonna flat him good
ICE : Right
MARIA
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
SHARKS
We're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jazz it tonight
They're gonna get it tonight
Tonight
ANITA
Tonight,
Late tonight
We're gonna mix it tonight
JETS & SHARKS
But they began it
They began it
They began it
TONY & MARIA
Tonight 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...
ANITA
Tonight
Anita's gonna have her day
Bernardo's gonna have his way...
JETS & SHARKS
And we're the ones to stop'em once and for all
The Jets/The Sharks are gonna have their way
The Jets/The Sharks are gonna have their day
We're gonna rock it tonight...
ALL
...Tonight
