RIFF
When you're a Jet,
You're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin' day.
When you're a Jet,
Let them do what they can,
You got brothers around,
You're a family man!
You're never alone,
You're never disconnected!
You're home with your own--
When company's expected,
You're well protected!
Then you are set
With a capital J,
Which you'll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you're a Jet,
You stay
A Jet!

SNOWBOY
When you're a Jet,
You're the top cat in town,
You're the gold-medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!

ICE
When you're a Jet,
You're the swingin'est thing.
Little boy, you're a man;
Little man, you're a king!

ALL
The Jets are in gear,
Our cylinders are clickin'!
The Sharks'll steer clear
'Cause every Puerto Rican's
A lousy chicken!

ALL
Here come the Jets
Like a bat out of hell--
Someone gets in our way
Someone don't feel so well!
Here come the Jets:
Little world, step aside!
Better go underground,
Better run, better hide!

We're drawin' the line,
So keep your noses hidden!
We're hangin' a sing
Says "Visitors forbidden"--
And we ain't kiddin!
Here come the Jets,
Yeah! And we're gonna beat
Every last buggin' gang
On the whole buggin' street!

One the whole!
Buggin'--!
Ever --!
Lovin'--!
Street!!

TONY
Could be!
Who knows?
There's something' due any day;
I will know right away
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballin'
Down through the sky,

Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?

It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feelin' there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Comin' to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something' good,
If I can wait!
Something's comin', I don't know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock
Open the latch!
Something's comin', don't know when,
But it's soon--
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!
Around the corner,
Or whistling' down the river,
Come on -- deliver
To me!

Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holdin' still
It'll be there!
Come on, something', come on in,
Don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!

The air is hummin',
And something' great is comin'!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach.
Maybe tonight.

TONY
Maria...

The most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...

All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...
Maria, Maria...

Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly the name
Will never be the same
To me.

Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!

Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing --
Say it soft and it's almost like praying --
Maria...
I'll never stop saying
Maria!

Maria--
Say it loud and there's music playing --
Say it soft and it's almost like praying --
Maria --
I'll never stop saying Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever herd --
Maria.

ANITA
Puerto Rico,
My heart's devotion--
Let it sink back in the ocean.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing,
And the money owing.
And the sunlight streaming,
And the natives steaming.
I like the island Manhattan,
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

GIRLS (chorus)
I like to be in America,
Okay by me in America,
Everything free in America -

Only you, you're the only thing I'll see, forever in my eyes in my

Tony: And there's nothing for me but Maria, every sight that I see
is Maria.
Maria: Tony, Tony.
Tony: Always you, every thought I'll ever know, everywhere I go
you'll be, you and me...
Maria: All the world is only you and me...

Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight,
I saw you and the world went away.
Tonight, tonight, there's only you tonight,
what you are, what you do, what you say.
Tony: Today, all day I had the feeling
a miracle would happen.
I know now I was right.
Beide: For here you are,
and what was just a world
is a star tonight!

Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light,
with suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight, the world is wild and bright,
going mad, shooting sparks into space.
Today the world was just an adress,
a place for me to live in,
no betterthan all right.
But here vou are,
and what was just a world is a star tonight!
Good night, good night,
sleep well and when you dream,
dream of me, tonight!

TIGER (spoken)
(imitating Officer Krupke)
Hey, you!

RIFF (spoken)
Me, Officer Krupke?

TIGER (spoken)
(as Krupke)
Yeah, you! Gimme one good reason
For not draggin' ya down to the
Stationhouse, ya punk.

RIFF (sings)
Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke,
Ya gotta understand--
It's just our bringin' upke
That gets us outta hand.
Our mothers all are junkies,
Our fathers all are drunks.
Golly Moses -- natcherly we're punks.

ALL
Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset;
We never had the love that every
Child oughta get.
We ain't no delinquents,
We're misunderstood.
Deep down inside us there is good!

RIFF
There is good!

ALL
There is good, there is good,
There is untapped good.
Like inside, the worse of us is good.

TIGER (imitating Krupke)
That's a touchin' good story.

RIFF
Lemme tell it to the world!

TIGER (imitating Krupke)
Just tell it to the Judge.

RIFF (**to Snowboy)
Dear kindly Judge, your Honor,
My parents treat me rough.
With all their marijuana,
They won't give me a puff.
They didn't wanna have me,
But somehow I was had.
Leapin' lizards --that's what I'm so bad!

SNOWBOY (imitating a Judge)
Right!
Officer Krupke, you're really a square;
This boy don't need a judge, he
Needs a analysis's care!
It's just his neurosis that oughta be curbed--
**He's psychologically disturbed.

RIFF
I'm disturbed!

ALL
We're disturbed, we're disturbed,
We're the most disturbed,
Like we're psychologically disturbed.

SNOWBOY (still acting part of Judge)(spoken)
Hear ye, Her ye! In the opinion
Of this court, this child is
Depraved on account he ain't had a normal home.

RIFF (spoken)
Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived!

SNOWBOY (as judge - spoken)
So take him to a headshrinker.

RIFF (to Action)(sings)
My Daddy beats my Mommy,
My Mommy clobbers me,
My Grandpa is a Commie,
My Grandma pushes tea.
My sister wears a mustache,
My brother wears a dress.
Goodness Gracious, that's why I'm a mess!

ACTION (as psychiatrist)
Yes!
Officer Krupke, he shouldn't be here.
This boy don't need a couch, he needs
A useful career.
Society's played him a terrible trick,
And sociologically he's sick!

RIFF
I am sick!

ALL
We are sick, we are sick,
We are sick sick sick
Like we're sociologically sick!

ACTION (speaks as psychiatrist)
In my opinion, this child does not need
To have his head shrunk at all.
Juvenile delinquency is purely a
Social disease.

RIFF (spoken)
Hey, I got a social disease!

ACTION (spoken as psychiatrist)
So take him to a social worker!

RIFF (to ARAB)(sings)
Dear kindly social worker,
They tell me get a job,
Like be a soda-jerker,
Which means like be a slob.
It's not I'm anti-social,
I'm only anti-work.
Gloryosky, that's why I'm a jerk!

ARAB (as social worker)
Eek!
Officer Krupke, you've done it again.
This boy don't need a job, he needs a
Year in the pen.
It ain't just a question of misunderstood;
Deep down inside him, he's no good!

RIFF
I'm no good!

ALL
We're no good, we're no good,
We're no earthly good,
Like the best of us is no damn good!

SNOWBOY
The trouble is he's lazy.

JOYBOY
The trouble is he drinks

BABY JOHN
The trouble is he's crazy.

ARAB
The trouble is he stinks,

MOUTHPIECE
The trouble is he's growing.

ACTION
The trouble is he's grown!

ALL
Krupke, we got troubles of our own!
Gee, Officer Krupke,
We're down on our knees.
'Cause no one wants a fella with
A social disease.
Gee, Officer Krupke,
What are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke --
Krup you!

MARIA
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay,
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming--
It's alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing--
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

ROSALIA, CONSUELO, FRANCISCA
Have you met my good friend Maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her--
She's the one who is in an advanced
State of shock.

She thinks she's in love.
She thinks she's in Spain.
She isn't in love,
She's merely insane.

It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat,
Or maybe it's fleas.

Keep away from her --
Send for Chino!
This is not the Maria
We know!

Modest and pure,
Polite and refined,
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!

MARIA
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me.

I feel dizzy
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
Miss America can just resign!

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:

ROSALIA, CONSUELO, FRANCISCA
What mirror where?

MARIA
Who can that attractive girl be?

ROSALIA, CONSUELO, FRANCISCA
Which? What? Where? Whom?

MARIA
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

ALL
I feel stunning
And entrancing--
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

TONY
Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow:
Only death will part us now.

MARIA
Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.

BOTH
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part us now.

Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart,
Even death won't part us now.

JETS
The jets are gonna have their day
Tonight.
The Jets are gonna have their way
Tonight.
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.
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!

JETS
We're gonna rock it tonight,
We're gonna jazz it up and have us
A ball.

SHARKS
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 --

BOTH GANGS
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,
Poor dear.
Don't matter if he's tired,
As long as he's here
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.

MARIA
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!

(During the remainder of the number, Tony and Maria will be heard singing together a reprise of the chorus they have just sung individually.)

JETS
The Jets are comin' 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!

RIFF (to Ice)
We'll be in back of you, boy.

ICE
Right!

RIFF
You're gonna flatten him good.

ICE
Right!

RIFF
(with proper punch)
ONE, TWO, THREE.

ICE
(with proper punch)
ONE, TWO, THREE.

RIFF
And then we'll have us a ball
Tonight.

BERNARDO AND SHARKS
We're gonna jazz it tonight
They're gonna get it tonight --
Tonight.
They began it -- they began it
And we're the ones
To 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!

RIFF AND JETS
They began it.
They began it.
We'll stop 'em once and for all
The Jets are gonna have their day,
The Jets are gonna have their way,
We're gonna rock it tonight.
Tonight

Instrumental

TONY
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us,
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

MARIA
There's a time for us,
Someday a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care
Someday!

TONY
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living

MARIA
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere.

TONY AND MARIA
There's a place for us,
A time a place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Someday,
Somewhere!

ICE
Boy, boy, crazy boy--
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket, in your pocket--
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and, Daddy-o,
You can live it up and die in bed!

Boy, boy, crazy boy--
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it --
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo school boy--
Just play it cool, boy
Real cool!

ANITA
A boy like that, --
Who'd kill your brother,
Forget that boy and find another!
One of your own kind--
Stick to your own kind!

A boy like that will give you sorrow--
You'll meet another boy tomorrow!
One of your own kind,
Stick to you own kind!

A boy who kills cannot love,
A boy who kills has no heart.
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart--
Very smart, Maria, very smart!

A boy like that wants one thing only,
And when he's done he'll leave you lonely.
He'll murder your love; he murdered mine.
Just wait and see--
Just wait, Maria,
Just wait and see!

MARIA
Oh no, Anita, no--
Anita, No!

It isn't true, not for me,
It's true for you, not for me,
I hear your words--
And in my head
I know they're smart
But my heart, Anita,
But my heart
Knows they're wrong.
You should no better.

You were in love -- or so you said
You should know better---

I have a love, and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him; I'm his,
And everything he is
I am, too.
I have a love and it's all that I need,
Right or wrong, and he needs me too.
I love him, we're one;
There's nothing to be done,
Not a thing I can do
But hold him, hold him forever,
Be with him now, tomorrow
And all of the my life!

MARIA AND ANITA
When love comes so strong,
There is no right or wrong,
Your love is your life!

MARIA
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.

MARIA AND TONY
Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
Somehow...

MARIA
Some day!
