The Jet Song (West Side Story) Lyrics by Betty Buckley

Ah, Men! The Boys of Broadway

0

[Verse 1]
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've got brothers around you're a family man
[Bridge]
You're never alone
You're never disconnected
You're home with your own—
When company's expected
You're well protected!
[Verse 2]
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 3]
When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town
You're the gold-medal kid with the heavyweight crown
When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing
Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a king!
[Bridge]
The Jets are in gear
Our cylinders are clickin'!
The Sharks'll steer clear
'Cause every Puerto Rican's
A lousy chicken!
[Verse 4]
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!
[Bridge]
We're drawin' the line
So keep your noses hidden
We're hangin' a sign
Says "Visitors forbidden"
And we ain't kiddin'!
[Verse 5]
Here come the Jets, yeah! And we're gonna beat
Every last buggin' gang on the whole buggin' street!
One the whole ever mother-lovin' street!
Yeah!
