Tonight (Quintet) Lyrics by Mike Faist, David Alvarez, Ariana DeBose, Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler

West Side Story (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2021

[JETS, RIFF]
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

[SHARKS, BERNARDO]
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!

[JETS, SHARKS]
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

[JETS]
Well, they began it!

[SHARKS]
Well, they began it!

[SHARKS & JETS, RIFF]
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

[MARIA, TONY & 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

[RIFF, 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!

[MARIA, RIFF, ICE]
Tonight, tonight (We'll be in back of you, boy, Right)
Won't be just any night (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)

[MARIA, SHARKS, ANITA, JETS]
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)
(Late tonight, we're gonna mix it tonight)
(Tonight)

[TONY & MARIA, SHARKS, JETS, ANITA]
Today the minutes seem like hours (They began it) (They began it) (Anita's gonna have her day)
The hours go so slowly (They began it) (They began it) (Anita's gonna have her day)
And still the sky is light (They began it) (And we're the ones...) (Bernardo's gonna have his way)
(...to stop them once and for all) (Tonight)
(We'll stop them once and for all) (Tonight)

Oh moon (The Jets are) (The Sharks are) (Tonight)
Grow bright (Gonna have their way) (Gonna have their way)
And make this (The Jets are) (The Sharks are) (This very night)
Endless day (Gonna have their day) (Gonna have their day)
Endless night (We're gonna rock it tonight) (We're gonna rock it tonight) (We're gonna rock it tonight)

[ALL]
Tonight!
