The line was never used - but was originally written that way.
There was a show on PBS a couple of years ago about the making of West Side Story (both the Broadway show and the movie). They interviewed Stephen Sondheim (who wrote the lyrics) He said he wrote the original lyric as "f**k you", but the financial backers made him change it to "Krup you". The show was interesting because it said the irony was that the 3 main originators - Sondheim, Bernstein & Jerome Robbins were all gay and wrote love songs about a hetrosexual love affair.
I'm sure the show will be rerun - watch for it.
