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've 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
'Til they cart you away
When you're a Jet,
You stay
A Jet!
ACTION & BABY JOHN:
When you're a Jet,
You're the top cat in town,
You're the gold-medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!
A-RAB, ACTION, & BIG DEAL:
When you're a Jet,
You're the swingin'est thing:
Little boy, you're a man;
Little man, you're a king!
ALL:
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 & ACTION:
On the whole!
ALL:
Ever-! Mother-! Lovin'-! Street!
