[00:17.73] When you're a Jet,
[00:18.78] You're a Jet all the way
[00:20.35] From your first cigarette
[00:22.59] To your last dyin' day.
[00:24.56]
[00:25.25] When you're a Jet,
[00:26.30] If the spit hits the fan,
[00:27.67] You got brothers around,
[00:29.61] You're a family man!
[00:31.48]
[00:31.78] You're never alone,
[00:33.68] You're never disconnected!
[00:35.73] You're home with your own:
[00:38.21] When company's expected,
[00:40.17] You're well protected!
[00:42.17]
[00:42.84] Then you are set
[00:43.78] With a capital J,
[00:45.30] Which you'll never forget
[00:47.08] Till they cart you away.
[00:49.16] When you're a Jet,
[00:50.51] You stay a Jet!
[00:58.96]
[01:04.76] Oh, when the Jets fall in at the cornball dance,
[01:09.97] We'll be the sweetest dressin' gang in pants!
[01:13.45] And when the chicks dig us in our Jet black ties,
[01:17.65] They're gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like flies!
[01:21.41]
[01:29.99] RIFF: (Spoken) Hey. Cool. Easy. Sweet.
[01:36.58] ACTION and BABY JOHN (Sing)
[01:41.93] When you're a Jet,
[01:42.18] You're the top cat in town,
[01:42.70] You're the gold medal kid
[01:44.44] With the heavyweight crown!
[01:47.18]
[01:47.96] A-RAB, ACTION, BIG DEAL
[01:48.81] When you're a Jet,
[01:49.60] You're the swingin'est thing:
[01:50.99] Little boy, you're a man;
[01:52.01] Little man, you're a king!
[01:55.36]
[01:55.56] ALL
[01:55.90] The Jets are in gear,
[01:57.00] Our cylinders are clickin'!
[01:58.94] The Sharks'll steer clear
[02:01.34] 'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!
[02:05.16]
[02:05.62] Here come the Jets
[02:06.87] Like a bat out of hell.
[02:08.55] Someone gets in our way,
[02:10.34] Someone don't feel so well!
[02:12.34]
[02:12.66] Here come the Jets:
[02:14.16] Little world, step aside!
[02:15.95] Better go underground,
[02:17.75] Better run, better hide!
[02:19.63]
[02:20.02] We're drawin' the line,
[02:21.95] So keep your noses hidden!
[02:23.97] We're hangin' a sign,
[02:26.58] Says "Visitors forbidden"
[02:28.94] And we ain't kiddin'!
[02:30.47]
[02:30.97] Here come the Jets,
[02:31.86] Yeah! And we're gonna beat
[02:33.80] Ev'ry last buggin' gang
[02:35.66] On the whole buggin' street!
[02:37.65] On the whole!
[02:38.79] Ever!
[02:39.29] Mother!
[02:40.59] Lovin'!
[02:41.70] Street!
[02:48.77] Yeah!
