Jet Song

Lyrics

[RIFF] When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way From your first cigarette to your last dyin' day When you're a Jet, if the spit hits the fan You got brothers around, you're a family man [ICE] You're never alone [RIFF] You're never disconnected [RIFF & ICE] You're home with your own [ICE] When company's expected [RIFF] You're well-protected Then you are set with a capital J Which you'll never forget 'til they cart you away When you'rе a Jet You stay a Jet! (spoken) So meet Tony and mе at the Dog Days Dance at the gym tonight.  [ACTION, spoken] We can't rumble at the gym, it'll be lousy with cops! [MOUTHPIECE, spoken] Maybe we had enough troubles with the Puerto Ricans for one day? [RIFF, spoken] Relax, it's a social mixer, so we'll mix, until the time's right to fix the rumble for tomorrow night.  Be there 10 p.m., punctual-like! Dressed to kill, walkin' tall! [A-RAB, spoken] We always walk tall! We're Jets! [RIFF, spoken] The greatest! (sung) When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town [DIESEL] You're the gold-medal kid with the heavyweight crown [RIFF] When you're a Jet— [BIG DEAL] You're the swingin'est thing Little boy, you're a man [THE JETS] Little man, you're a king! [RIFF] The Jets are in gear [BABY JOHN] Our cylinders are clickin' [RIFF] The Sharks'll steer clear [RIFF/DIESEL/BALKAN] 'Cause every Puerto Rican's— [RIFF/DIESEL/BALKAN/BABY JOHN/ICE/ACTION] A lousy chicken! [THE JETS] Here come the Jets like a bat outta hell Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well Here come the Jets, little world, step aside! Better go underground, better run, better hide! We're drawin' the line So keep your noses hidden We're hangin' a sign Says "Visitors Forbidden" [RIFF] And we ain't kiddin'! [THE JETS] Here come the Jets, yeah! And we're gonna beat Every last buggin' gang on the whole buggin' street! On the whole ever-mother-lovin' street! Yeah!
