Stephen Sondheim - Tonight (Quintet) lyrics

[JETS] The Jets are gonna have their day Tonight [SHARKS] The Sharks are gonna have their way Tonight [JETS] 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 [JETS] We're gonna cut 'em down to size Tonight [SHARKS] 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! [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 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 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] 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! [MARIA] Tonight, tonight Won't be just any night Tonight there will be no morning star [RIFF] So I can count on you, boy? [TONY] All right [RIFF] We're gonna have us a ball [TONY] All right [RIFF] Womb to tomb! [TONY] Sperm to worm! [RIFF] I'll see you there about eight [TONY] Tonight [MARIA] Tonight, tonight I'll see my love tonight And for us, stars will stop where they are [MARIA & TONY] 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 Tonight! [SHARKS] We're gonna rock it tonight! They're gonna get it tonight They began it They began it We'll stop 'em once and for all The Sharks are gonna have their way The Sharks are gonna have their day We're gonna rock it tonight Tonight! [JETS] We're gonna jazz it tonight! Tonight! They began it And we're the ones To stop 'em once and for all! The Jets are gonna have their way The Jets are gonna have their day We're gonna rock it tonight Tonight! [ANITA] Tonight Tonight Late tonight We're gonna mix it tonight Anita's gonna have her day Anita's gonna have her day Bernardo's gonna have his way Tonight, tonight Tonight This very night We're gonna rock it tonight! Tonight!
