Songtexte West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast): Tonight (Quintet and Chorus) - Chita Rivera , Carol Lawrence , Larry Kert , West Side Story Ensemble

The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight
The Sharks are gonna have their way
Tonight
The Puerto Ricans grumble, "Fair fight."
But if they start a rumble, we'll rumble them
Right
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 miss
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 on, the harder they fall
Well, they began it
Well, they began it
And we're the ones to stop 'em 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
So what?
Don't matter if he's diet, as long as he's
Hot
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Won't be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight
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 bright
Oh, moon, grow bright
And make this endless day, endless night
We're 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
Tonight
So I can count on you, boy
All right
Won't be just any night
We're gonna have us a ball
All right
Tonight there will be no morning star
Dude, burn to work
I'll see you there about eight
Tonight
Tonight
We're gonna rock this tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I'll see my love tonight
We're gonna jazz it tonight
All right
And for us stars will stop where they are
They're gonna get it tonight
Tonight
They'll walk in hot and tired
Oh, moon, grow bright
Today the minutes seem like hours
And make this endless day, endless night
We're gonna have a good time
The Jets are gonna have their day
Tonight
The Jets are gonna have their day
And make this endless day, endless night
We're gonna rock it tonight
Tonight
