No tricks."

We're ready to mix
Tonight.

The more they turn it on the harder they'll
fall!

As long as he's hot
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

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!
RIFF
I'm counting on you to be there
Tonight.
When
Diesel wins it fair and square
Tonight.
That Puerto
Rican punk'll
Go down.
And when he's
hollered "Uncle"
We'll tear up the town!
(RIFF, TONY, and MARIA sing simultaneously)

All
