Lyrics By Stephen Sondheim
Music By Leonard Bernstien
"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,
The moon burns bright,
And make this endless day,
endless night,
Tonight, Tonight.
"One Hand, One Heart"
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.
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.
"Maria"
The most beautiful sound I 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 never stop saying: "Maria!"
"America"
I like to be in America, Okay by me in America.
Everything free in America, For a small fee
in America.
I like the city of San Juan, I know a boat
you can get on.
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom, Hundreds
of people in each room!
Automoblie in America, Chromium steel in
America.
Wire spoke wheel in America, Very big deal
in America.
I'll drive a buick thru San Juan, If there's
a road you can drive on.
I'll give my cousins a free ride, How you
fit all of them inside?
Immigrant goes to America, Many hellos in
America.
Nobody knows in America, Puerto Rico's in
America.
When I will go back to San Juan, When you
will shut up and get gone.
I'll give them new washing machine, what
have they got there to keep clean?
I like the shores of America, Comfort is
yours in America.
Knobs on the doors in America, Wall to wall
floors in America.
I'll bring a T.V. to San Juan, If there's
a current to turn on.
Everyone there will give big cheer, Everyone
there will have moved here.
I like to be in America, Okay by me in America.
Everything free in America, For a small fee
in America.
"Something's Coming"
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 feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true
Coming to me
Could it be?
Yes it could
Something's coming
Something good
If I can wait
Something's coming 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 coming, 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 holding 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 coming
Who knows
It's only just
Out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight...
"Gee, Officer Krupke"
TIGER, IMITATING KRUPKE
Hey you!
RIFF
Who me, Officer Krupke?
TIGER, IMITATING KRUPKE
Yeah you, gimme one good reason for not draggin'
ya down the station house, ya punk!
RIFF
Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke
You gotta understand
It's just our bringin' upke
That gets us out of hand
Our mothers all are junkies
Our fathers all are drunks
Golly Moses, naturally we're punks
JETS
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!
JETS
There is good, there is good
There is untapped good
Like inside, the worst of us is good
TIGER, IMITATING KRUPKE
That's a touching good story
RIFF
Lemme tell it to the world!
TIGER, IMITATING KRUPKE
Just tell it to the judge
RIFF
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 why I'm so
bad
SNOWBOY IMITATING JUDGE
Right! Officer Krupke
You're really a square
This boy don't need a judge
He needs an analyst's care
It's just his neurosis
That oughta be curbed
He's psychologically disturbed
RIFF
I'm disturbed
JETS
We're disturbed, we're disturbed
We're the most disturbed
Like we're psychologically disturbed
SNOWBOY IMITATING JUDGE
Hear ye, hear ye. In the opinion of this
court, this child is depraved on account
he ain't had a normal home.
RIFF
Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived!
SNOWBOY IMITATING JUDGE
So take him to a headshrinker. You!
ACTION
Who me?
RIFF
My daddy beats my mommy
My mommy clobbers me
My grandpa is a commie
My grandma pushes tea
My sisters wears a moustache
My brother wears a dress
Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a
mess
ACTION IMITATING HEADSHRINKER
Yes, Officer Krupke
He shouldn't be here
This boy don't need a couch
He needs a usefully career
Society's played him a terrible trick
And sociologically he's sick
RIFF
I am sick!
JETS
We are sick, we are sick
We are sick sick sick
Like we're sociologically sick
ACTION IMITATING HEADSHRINKER
In my opinion, this child does not need to
have his head shrunk at all. Juvenile
delinquency
is purely a social disease.
RIFF
Hey, I got a social disease!
ACTION IMITATING HEADSHRINKER
So take him to a social worker
RIFF
Dear kindly social worker
They tell me get a job
Like be a soda jerker
Which means I'd be a slob
It's not I'm antisocial
I'm only anti-work
Glory Osky, that's why I'm a jerk
A-RAB
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 he's no good
RIFF
I'm no good
JETS
We're no good, we're no good
We're no earthly good
Like the best of us is no damn good
The trouble is he's lazy
The trouble is he drinks
The trouble is he's crazy
The trouble is he stinks
The trouble is he's growing
The trouble is he's grown
Krupke, we've got troubles of our own
Officer Krupke
We're down on our knees
RIFF
'Cause no one wants a fella
With a social disease
JETS
Dear Officer Krupke
What are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke
Krup you!
"I Feel Pretty"
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
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
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

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together
With time to spare
Time to look
Time to care
Someday,
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living We'll
find
a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand
And we're halfway there
Hold my hand
And I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere

Stay loose, boy
Breeze it
Buzz it
Easy does it
Turn off the juice, boy
Just play it cool, boy
Real cool
"A Boy Like That / I Have a Love"
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 your 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 know 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 my life
MARIA & ANITA
When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life.
