Jet Song

Jet Song - West Side Story Cast

When you're a Jet

You're a jet all the way

From your first cigarette

Till 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

In out let's get cracking

Where you gonna find Bernardo

At the dance tonight at the gym

Hey but the gym's neutral territory

Oh I'm gonna make nice there

When I'm only gonna challenge him

Great daddy-o

So everybody dress up sweet and sharp

Meet Tony and me at ten and walk tall

We always walk tall

We're jets the greatest

When you're a Jet

You're the top cat in town

You're the gold medal kid

With the heavyweight crown

When you're a Jet

You're the swingingest thing

Little boy you're a man

Little man you're a king

The Jets are in gear

Our cylinders are clicking

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 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 ever mother loving street
