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.

I like to be in America,
Okay by me in America,
Everything free in America -

BERNARDO
Everywhere grime in America,
Organized crime in America,
Terrible time in America.

You forget I’m in America.
BERNARDO
I think I go back to San Juan

Jet Song
…When you're a Jet,
You're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin' day.
(Spoken) I know Tony like I know me. I guarantee you can count him in.
RIFF: (Innocently) I'm gonna make nice there! I'm only gonna challenge him.
A-RAB: Great, Daddy-O!
ALL (Sing)
Oh, when the Jets fall in at the cornball dance,
We'll be the sweetest dressin' gang in pants!
And when the chicks dig us in our Jet black ties,
They're gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like flies!
RIFF: (Spoken) Hey. Cool. Easy. Sweet. Meet Tony and me at ten. And walk tall!
ALL
The Jets are in gear,
Our cylinders are clickin'!
The Sharks'll steer clear
'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!

Maria
TONY
(spoken)
Maria . . .
(sings)
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!
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!

Tonight
MARIA
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!
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.
MARIA
All the world is only you and me! Commented [HZ2]: Esto probablemente no va a ir por
como está la pista
TONY
Tonight, tonight,
It all began tonight,
I saw you and the world went away.
MARIA
Tonight, tonight,
There’s only you tonight,
What you are, what you do, what you say. Commented [HZ3]: Tal vez aquí tony canta la parte de
maria y maria la de tony
TONY
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen --
I know now I was right.
TOGETHER
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

Somewhere
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.

ACTION
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, natcherly we're punks!
ACTION
There is good!
ALL
There is good, there is good,
There is untapped good!
Like inside, the worst of us is good!
ACTION
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!
ACTION
I'm disturbed!
JETS
We're disturbed, we're disturbed,
We're the most disturbed,
Like we're psychologic'ly disturbed.
ACTION (Sings)
My father is 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!
ACTION
I am sick!
ALL
We are sick, we are sick,
We are sick, sick, sick,
Like we're sociologically sick!
A-RAB: En mi opinión este chico no necesita tener una terapia mental. La delincuencia
juvenil es más que nada una enfermedad social!
ACTION
Dear kindly social worker,
They say go earn a buck.
Like be a soda jerker,
Which means like be a schumck.
It's not I'm anti-social,
I'm only anti-work.
Gloryosky! That's why I'm a jerk!
ACTION
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!
DIESEL
The trouble is he stinks.
A-RAB
The trouble is he's growing.
BABY JOHN
The trouble is he's grown.
ALL
Krupke, we got troubles of our own!
