Jet Song Lyrics

 

Snapping fingers

Smooth Boppy Piano

Riff:This turf is small but it's all we got

Huh

I want to hold it like we always held it

With skin

But if they say blades

I say blades but if they say guns

I say guns

I say I want the Jets to be

The number one

To sail

To hold the sky

Baby John:Rev us up

Gee Tar:Voom va voom

Big Deal:Cha chung

Action:Wacko jacko

A Rab:Digga digga dig dumb

Riff:Now

Protocality calls for a war council between us and the Sharks to set the whole thing

Up

So I will personally give the bad news to Bernardo

Aganst the Sharks

We need every man we

Got we need a lieutenant for the war council

Action:That's me

Riff:That's Tony

Action:Who needs Tony

Riff:We need Tony

He has a reputation bigger than the whole west side

Action:Tony don't belong no more

Riff:Cut it

Action

Tony and I started the Jets

A Rab:What about the day we clobbered the Emeralds

Big Deal:Which we couldn't have done without Tony

Baby John:He saved my ever lovin' neck

Riff:Yeah

He's come through for us and he always

Will

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

Let 'em do what they can

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 the cart you away

When you're a Jet

You stay a Jet

Riff:I know Tony like I know me and I guarantee

You can count him in

Action:In

Out

Let's get crackin'

A Rab:Where you gonna find Bernardo

Baby John:It ain't safe to go into PR territory

Riff:He'll be at the dance at the gym tonight

A Rab:Yeah

But the gym's neutral territory

Riff

Innocently

: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 and

Meet Tony and me at the dance at ten

And walk tall

A Rab:We always walk tall

Baby John:We're Jets

Action:The greatest

Drums

Snowboy:When you're a Jet

You're the top cat in

Town

You're the gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown

Diesel:When you're a Jet

You're the swingin'est

Thing

Little boy

You're a man

Little man

You're a king

Jets:The Jets are in gear

Our cylinders are clickin'

The Sharks'll stear 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

An' we're gonna beat every last buggin' gang on

The whole buggin' street

On the whole buggin' ever lovin' street

 

Gee Tar:Yeah
