Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette to your last dyin' day
[Verse 2]
When you're a Jet, let 'em do what they can
You've got brothers around, you're a family man
[Verse 3]
You're never alone, you're never disconnected!
You're home with your own, when company's expected
You're well protected
[Verse 4]
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!
[Verse 5]
Now I know Tony like I know me
And I guarantee you can count him in
In, out, let's get crackin'
[Verse 6]
Where you gonna find Bernardo?
It ain't safe to go into PR territory
He'll be at the dance tonight at the gym
Yeah, but the gym's neutral territory!
A-Rab, I'm gonna make nice with him!
I'm only gonna challenge him
Great, Daddy-O!
[Verse 7]
So listen, everybody dress up sweet and sharp
Meet Tony and me at the dance after ten
And walk tall!
We always walk tall!
We're Jets!
The greatest!
[Verse 8]
When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town
You're the gold metal kid with the heavyweight crown
[Verse 9]
When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing
Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a king
[Verse 10]
The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clicking
The Sharks'll steer clear
'Cause every Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!
[Verse 11]
Here come the Jets like a bat out of hell
Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well
[Verse 12]
Here come the Jets, little world, step aside
Better go underground, better run, better hide
[Verse 13]
We're drawing the line, so keep your noses hidden
We're hanging a sign, says, "Visitors forbidden"
And we ain't kiddin'
[Verse 14]
Here come the Jets, yeah, and we're gonna beat
Every last buggin' gang on the whole buggin'
On the whole buggin' ever lovin' street
Yeah!
