Quintet / Pedro's Night
From "Northwest Side Story", a subsidiary of Mariners! the Musical
To the tune of the quintet/rumble from West Side Story (movie version)
by Deanna Rubin

(The setting is Safeco Field, before the Mets/Mariners game before Pedro got his first ever loss in Seattle.  Piazza and Pedro are going over their pitching game plan, as are Ryan Franklin and Pat Borders...)



METS
The Mets are gonna have their day tonight...
The Mets are gonna have their way tonight...
The fans from New York shout out: "PEDRO!"
And since they want a shutout,
We'll put on a show...
 
MARINERS
We're gonna turn the double play tonight...
We'll make 'em look like triple A tonight...
We said, "Okay, he's Pedro,
No shit."
And though it's Safeco,
We're ready to hit
Tonight.

MARINERS & METS
We're gonna win it tonight,
We're gonna play it up and pound on the ball!
They're gonna lose it tonight,
The more they turn it on the harder they'll fall! 

METS
Well, they began it! 

MARINERS 
Well, they began it! 

ALL 
And we're the ones to beat 'em once and for all, 
Tonight! 

PEDRO MARTINEZ
Ol' Pedro's gonna hit his stride
Tonight
I'll get 'em swinging high and wide
Tonight
They'll come up to the plate and
Swing low
And three fast pitches later,
Away they will go,
Tonight!

RYAN FRANKLIN
Tonight, tonight, 
Won't be just any night, 
Tonight there will be no loss for me.
Tonight, tonight, I'll get a win tonight
And my losing streak will stop at three!

PAT BORDERS
Today
The pitches seem like innings,
The innings go so slowly,
And still the sky is light,
For curves, I'll sign,
And make this endless game end in nine!

METS
The Mets are coming out on top tonight
We're gonna watch Seattle drop tonight
That stupid fuzzy moose'll go down
And like an apple streusel, we'll burn 'em all brown

BORDERS
Tonight, tonight                         PIAZZA: We'll be backing you boy         
                                         PEDRO: Right        
Won't be just any night                  PIAZZA: You're gonna strike 'em out good 
                                         PEDRO: Right       
Tonight the Mets will get no base hits             
                                         MARINERS: And then we'll pound on the ball tonight
Tonight, tonight                         We're gonna win it tonight   
We'll get a win tonight                  We're gonna slug 'em tonight 
And for them                             We're gonna hit it tonight                       PEDRO: Tonight, tonight, a no-hitter 
balls will fall into mitts                                                                I'm gonna pitch it tonight...

FRANKLIN & BORDERS
Today the pitches seem like innings      MARINERS/METS: But they began it
The innings go so slowly                 They began it, They began it
And still the sky is light.                  
                                         MARINERS/METS: And we're the ones to stop 'em,
                                         we'll stop 'em once and for all.                 PEDRO: Tonight, Pedro's gonna hit his stride,
Oh ball, please shine,                   The (Mets are gonna / Mariners'll) make the play... 
And make this endless game               We'll make 'em look like triple A...             We'll throw the runners as they slide...
end in nine!                             We're gonna rock it tonight...                   Tonight...
 
ALL
Tonight!
