Jet Song Songtext
RIFF (sings):
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!
You're never alone, you're never disconnected, you're home with your own
When company's expected, you're well-protected!
Then you are set with a capital J
Which you'll never forget till they cart you away
When you're a Jet, you stay a Jet!
RIFF (spoken):
I know Tony like I know me. I guarantee you can count him in.
ACTION (spoken):
In, out, let's get crackin'.
GEE-TAR (spoken):
Where you gonna find Bernardo?
RIFF (spoken):
At the dance tonight at the gym.
Big Deal (spoken):
But the gym's neutral territory.
RIFF (spoken): A-Rab. I'm gonna make nice there! I'm only gonna challenge him.
A-RAB (spoken):
Great, Daddy-o!
RIFF (spoken):
So everybody dress up sweet and sharp. Meet Tony and me at ten. And walk tall!
A-RAB (spoken):
We always walk tall!
BABY JOHN (spoken):
We're Jets! ACTION (spoken):
The greatest!
HE SINGS WITH BABY JOHN:
When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town,
You're a gold-medal kid with the heavyweight crown!
A-RAB, ACTION, BIG DEAL (sing):
When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing.
Little boy, you're a man; little boy, you're a king.
ALL (sing):
The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clickin'!
The Sharks'll steer clear, 'cause every Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!
Here come the Jets, like a bat out of 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'
And we ain't kiddin'!
Here come the Jets, Yeah! And we're gonna beat
Every last buggin' gang on the whole buggin' street!
DIESEL AND ACTION: On the whole!
ALL: Ever...! Mother...! Lovin'...! Street...!
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!
You're never alone, you're never disconnected, you're home with your own
When company's expected, you're well-protected!
Then you are set with a capital J
Which you'll never forget till they cart you away
When you're a Jet, you stay a Jet!
