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!



(spoken)

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



ACTION

In, out, let's get crackin'



A-RAB

Where you gonna find Bernardo?



RIFF

At the dance tonight at the gym



BIG DEAL

But the gym's neutral territory



RIFF

I'm gonna make nice there!  I'm only gonna challenge him



A-RAB

Great, Daddy-O!



RIFF

So everybody dress up sweet and sharp



ALL (sung)

Oh when the Hets 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!



RIFF

Hey.  Cool.  Easy.  Sweet.



(spoken)

Meet Tony and me at ten.  And walk tall!



A-RAB

We always walk tall!



BABY JOHN

We're Jets!



ACTION

The greatest!



ACTION and BABY JOHN (sung)

When you're a Jet

You're the top cat in town

You're the gold medal kid

With the heavyweight crown!



A-RAB, ACTION and 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 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!)

And we're gonna beat

Every last buggin' gang

On the whole buggin' street



DIESEL and ACTION

On the whole!



ALL

Ever!

Mother!

Lovin'!

Street!
