Jet Song

(앨범: West Side Story - 1961)

[Riff:]
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, if the spit hits the fan
You got brothers around, you're a family man!
([Ice:] You're never alone)
You're never disconnected!
([Both:] You're home with your own)
([Ice:] When company's expected)
You're well protected!

[Riff:]
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!

So meet Tony and me at the Dogs Days Dance at the gym tonight

We can't rumble at the gym, it will be lousy with cops

[Mouthpiece:]
Maybe we had enough troubles with the Puerto Ricans for one day

[Riff:]
Relax! It's a social mixer, so we'll mix until the time is right to fix the rumble for tomorrow night
Be there 10 p.m, punctual-like, dressed to kill, walking tall!

[A-Rab:]
We always walk tall! We're Jets!

[Riff:]
The greatest!

[Riff:]
When you're a Jet you're the top cat in town

[Diesel:]
You're the gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown

[Riff:]
When you're a Jet

[Big Deal:]
You're the swingin'est thing
Little boy, you're a man

[Jets:]
Little man, you're a king!

[Riff:]
The Jets are in gear
([Baby John:] Our cylinders are clickin'!)
The Sharks'll steer clear
([Jets:] 'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!)

[Jets:]
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"
([Riff:] And we ain't kiddin'!)

Here come the Jets, yeah, and we're gonna beat
Ev'ry last bugging gang on the whole bugging street!
On the whole!
Ever!
Mother!
Lovin'!
Street!

Yeah!
