Tonight (Quintet) Songtext
von Mike Faist, David Alvarez, Ariana DeBose, Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Les Jets & Sharks

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 them 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 if you boy, right)
Won′t be just any night (we′re gonna flatten 'em 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)
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)
(We're gonna mix it tonight)

Today, the minutes seem like hours (they began it, they began it)
The hours go so slowly (they began it, they began it)
(Bernardo's gonna have his way)
And still, the sky is light (to stop them once and for all)
Oh moon, grow bright (the Sharks are gonna have their way)
And make this endless day, endless night (the Jets are gonna have their day)
(We′re gonna rock it tonight)

Tonight!
