The Jet Song (West Side Story)

Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim

[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
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 3]
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 4]
When you're a Jet
You're the top cat in town
You're the gold-medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!

[Verse 5]
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 6]
Here come the Jets
Like a bat out of hell—
Someone gets in our way
Someone don’t feel so well!

[Verse 7]
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 8]
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!
