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

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

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

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 tired
As long as he's hot tonight

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

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

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

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 (late tonight) (they're gonna get it tonight)
We're gonna mix it tonight (tonight)

Today, the minutes seem like hours (Anita's gonna have her day)
They began it (Anita's gonna have her day)
The hours go so slowly and still the sky is light
They began it (Bernardo's gonna have his way tonight, tonight)
To stop them once and for all

Oh, moon, grow bright (tonight) (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
