Leonard Bernstein - Jet Song lyrics

RIF: 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 let them do what they can 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 'till they cart you away When you're a Jet you stay a Jet! Spoken: Now I know Tony like I know me, And I guarantee you can count him in. ACTION: In, out, let's get crackin'! Where you gonna find Bernardo? RIF: At the dance tonight at the gym BABY JOHN: But the gym's neutral territory RIF: I'm gonna make nice with him, I'm only gonna challenge him ICE: Great, Daddy-O RIF So listen, everybody dress up sweet and sharp and Meet Tony and me at ten. And walk tall! A-RAB: We always walk tall! BABY JOHN: We're Jets! BIG DEAL: The greatest! DEISEL: When you're a Jet you're the top cat in town The gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown ICE: 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 outta 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 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. On the whole buggin', ever lovin' street! Yeah!
