Stephen Sondheim & Leonard BernsteinAbout
After Riff (Mike Faist) buys a handgun, Tony (Ansel Elgort) sees it and takes it away from him. The dance number that follows is centered on him trying to keep the weapon away from the other Jets. Unlike in the Broadway show or the 1961 film, here the bulk of the song is sung by Tony.
Cool Lyrics
[TONY]
Boy, boy, crazy boy
Get cool, boy
Got a rocket in your pocket?
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don’t get hot 'cause man, you've 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
[Dance break as TONY and RIFF fight over the gun, which RIFF eventually snatches.]

Turn off the juice, boy!
Just play it cool, boy
