West Side Story: Jet Song
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
'Til they cart you away
When you're a Jet
You stay
A Jet!
Now I know Tony like I know me
And I guarantee you can count him in
In, out, let's get cracking
Where you going to find Bernardo?
At the dance tonight at the gym
But the gym's neutral territory
Oh, I'm going to make nice with him
I'm only going to challenge him
Great Daddy-o
So, everybody dress up sweet and sharp
Meet Tony and me at ten
And walk tall!
We always walk tall
We're Jets!
The greatest!
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
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
On the whole
Ever
Mother
Lovin'
Street
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
'Til they cart you away
When you're a Jet
You stay
A Jet!
Now I know Tony like I know me
And I guarantee you can count him in
In, out, let's get cracking
Where you going to find Bernardo?

We always walk tall
We're Jets!
The greatest!
