1.A Boy Like That / I Have 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
And my heart
Is too strong,
For I belong
To him alone, to him alone.
One thing I know:
I am his,
I don't care what he is.
I don't know why it's so,
I don't want to know.

ANITA
A boy like that, etc.
Very smart Maria, very smart!

MARIA
Oh no, Anita, no,
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!

BOTH
When love comes so strong,
There is no right or wrong,
Your love is your life.


2.Gee, Officer Krupke

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

Hey you, who me Officer Krupke?
Yeah, you, give me one good reason
For not draggin' you down to the station house
You punk

Dear, dear, dear kindly Sergeant Krupke you gotta understand
It's just our bringin' up-ke that gets us out of hand
Our mothers all are junkies, our fathers all are drunks
Golly Moses, naturally we're punks

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

There is good, there is good
There is good, there is untapped good
Like inside the worst of us is good
Oh, look at that good, good baby
That's a nice baby actually, yeah

Oh, that's a touchin' good story
Oh well, lemme tell it to the world
Just tell it to the judge
Ooh yeah, judge, that's a good idea, stop

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

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

I'm disturbed
We're disturbed, we're disturbed
We're the most disturbed
Like we're psychologically disturbed

Hear ye, hear ye, in the opinion on this court
This child is depraved on account
He ain't had a normal home
Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived

So take him to a headshrinker
Oh no, goodbye buddy boy

My father's a bastard, my ma's an S.O.B
My grandpa's always plastered, my grandma pushes tea
My sister wears a mustache, my brother wears a dress
Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess

Yes, Officer Krupke you're really a slob
This boy don't need a doctor just a good honest job
Society's played him a terrible trick
And sociologically he's sick

I am sick
We are sick, we are sick
We are sick, sick, sick,
Like we're sociologically sick, oh yeah

In my opinion this child don't need to have his head shrunk at
all
Juvenile delinquency is purely a social disease
Hey, I got a social disease
So take him to a social worker

Dear kindly, social worker, they say go earn a buck
Like be a soda jerker which means like be a schmuck
It's not I'm antisocial, I'm only anti-work
Gloryosky, that's why I'm a jerk

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

I'm no good
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 crazy, the trouble is he drinks
The trouble is he's lazy, the trouble is he stinks
The trouble is he's growing, the trouble is he's grown
Krupke, we got troubles of our own

Gee, Officer Krupke we're down on our knees
'Cause no one wants a fellow with a social disease
Gee, Officer Krupke what are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke, Krup you


3.Jet Song

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette till your last dyin' day
When you're a Jet if the spit hits the fan
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

I know Tony like I know me
And I guarantee you can count him in
In, out, let's get crackin'

Where you gonna find Bernardo?
At the dance tonight at the gym
Hey but the gym's neutral territory

Oh, I'm gonna make nice there
When I'm only gonna challenge him
Great, daddy-o

So everybody dress up sweet and sharp
And meet Tony and me at ten and walk tall
We always walk tall, we're Jets, the greatest

When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town
You're the gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown
When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing
Little boy you're a man, little man you're a king

The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clickin'
The Sharks'll steer clear
'Cause every Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken

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 sign, says visitors forbidden
And we ain't kiddin'

Here come the Jets, yeah and we're gonna beat
Ev'ry last buggin' gang on the whole buggin' street
On the whole ever mother lovin' street


4.Cool

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

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, schoolboy
Just play it cool boy, real cool

Cool, go, crazy, cool, go
Crazy, go, Jets

Boy, boy, crazy boy, stay loose boy
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it
Turn off the juice boy

Just play it cool boy
Real cool


5.America

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

Puerto Rico, you lovely island
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapples growing
Always the coffee blossoms blowing

Puerto Rico, you ugly island
Island of tropic diseases
Always the hurricanes blowing
Always the population growing

And the money owing
And their babies crying
And the bullets flying
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe and put that in

I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Ev'rything 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

Automobile in America
Chromium steel in America
Wired spoke wheel in America
Very big deal in America

I'll drive a Buick through San Juan
If there's a road you can drive on
I'll give my cousins a free ride
How you get all of them inside?

Immigrant goes to America
Many hellos in America
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico's in America

I'll take a T.V. to San Juan
If there's a current to turn on
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

When I will go back to San Juan
When you will shut up and get gone
Everyone there will give big cheer
Everyone there would have moved here


6.Somewhere

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

Maria
Stay, stay with me please
I love you so much
Tighter

We'll be alright as long as we're together
But it's not us, it's what around us
I will find someplace where nothing can get to us
Nothing, no one

And I will take you away, take you far, far away out of here
Far, far away till the walls and the streets disappear
Somewhere there must be a place we can feel we're free
Somewhere there's got to be some place for you and for me

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, someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare, time to learn, time to care

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

Someplace 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
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 I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere


7.Something's Coming

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

Could be, who knows? There's something due any day
I would know right away soon as it shows
It may come cannon balling 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 humming and something great is coming

Who knows? It's only just out of reach
Down the block on a beach
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight


8.One Hand, One Heart

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

I Anton take thee Marie
I Maria take thee, Anton
For richer, for poorer
In sickness and in health

To love and to honor
To hold and to keep
From each sun to each moon
From tomorrow to tomorrow

From now to forever
Till death do us part
With this ring I thee wed
With this ring I thee wed

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

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


9.Maria

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

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 that 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, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, 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 heard
Maria


10.Tonight

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes, in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you ever

And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria

Tony, Tony

Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go you'll be, 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

Today all day I had the feeling a miracle would happen
I know now I was right
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 address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are and what was just a world is a star tonight

Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away

I cannot stay, go quickly, no
Yes, they are strict with me please, good night
Buenos notches, buenos notches
I love you, yes, yes hurry

Wait, when will I see you again?
Tomorrow?
I work at the bridal shop, come there
At sundown, yes go

Tony, shh
Come through the back door
Si
Tony, what does Tony stand for?
Anton

Good night, good night, sleep well
And when you dream, dream of me tonight


11.Dance At The Gym

Lyricist:Leonard Bernstein

You're not thinking I'm someone else?
I know you're not
Or that we have met before?
I know that we have not

I knew something never before was gonna happen
Had to happen but this is
My hands are cold, yours too, so warm
Yours too, but of course they are the same

It's so much to believe
You're not joking me
I have not yet learned how to joke that way
I think now I never will
