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!
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!

ALL
Oh, when the Jets fall in at the cornball dance,
We`ll be the sweetest dressin` gang in pants!
And when the chicks dig us in our Jet black ties,
They`re gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like
flies!

ACTION and BABY JOHN
When you`re a Jet,
You`re the top cat in town,
You`re the gold-metal 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 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 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! An` we`re gonna beat
Ev`ry last buggin` gang
On the whole buggin` street!
On the whole ever-mother-lovin` street
