Jet Song

RIFF
When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette to your last dying 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

I know Tony like I know me.
And I guarantee you can count him in.

ACTION
In, out, let's get cracking!

SNOWBOY
Where you gonna find Bernardo?
It ain't safe to go into PR territory.

RIFF
He'll be at the dance tonight at the gym.

A-RAB
But the gym's neutral territory.

RIFF
A-Rab, I'm gonna make nice with him!
I'm only gonna challenge him.

A-RAB
Great, Daddy-O!

RIFF
So everybody dress up sweet and sharp.
Meet Tony and me at the dance at 10. And walk tall!

A-RAB
We always walk tall!

BABY JOHN
We're Jets!

SNOWBOY
The greatest!

When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town
You're the gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown

ICE
When you're a Jet, you're the swingingest thing
Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a king

ALL
The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clicking
The Sharks'll steer clear, 'cause ev'ry 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 drawing the line, so keep your noses hidden
We're hanging a sign, says Visitors forbidden
And we ain't kidding

Here come the Jets, yeah! And we're gonna beat
Every last bugging gang on the whole bugging street
On the whole! Bugging! Ever! Lovin'! Street! Yeah!
