Tonight - Quintet and Chorus - Leonard Bernstein & New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic Orchestra

The jets are going to have their day tonight

The jets are going to have theur way tonight

The Puerto Ricans grumhe fair fight

But if they start a rumble, we’ll rumble them right

we’re going to hand thm a surprise tonight

we’re going to cut them down to size tonight

We said ok, no rumpus, no tricks

But just in case they jump us, we’re ready to mix, tonight

were getting to rock it tonight, we’re going to jazz it up and have us a ball

The’re going to 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 them once and for all, tonight

Anita 's going to get her kicks, tonight

We’ll have our private little mix, tonjght

He’ll walk in hot and tired, poor dear

Don’t matter if he’s tired, as long as he’s near, 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 going to watch Bernardo

Drop tonight

That Puerto Rican punk will go down

And when he’s hallered unle, we’ll tear up the town

We’ll be in back of you boy, right

We’re gonna flatten him good, right

I’ll bet we’ll have us a ball, tonight

we’re gonna rock it tonight, we’re going to jazz it tonight

We’re gonna mix it tonight

Today the minutes seem like hours

The hours go so slowly

And still the sky is light

We’ll stop them once and for all,

We’ll stop them once and for all

The jets are gonna have their day

The jets are gonna rheir way

so now moon grow bright

And make this endless day, endless night

We’re gonna rok it tonight, TONIGHT!
