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
So meet Tony and me at the Dog Days Dance at the gym tonight
We can't rumble at the gym, it'll be lousy with cops
Maybe we had enough troubles with the Puerto Ricans for one day?
Relax, it's a social mixer, so we'll mix
Until the time's right to fix the rumble for tomorrow night
Be there 10 pm, punctual-like
Dressed to kill, walkin' 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 swinginest 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 outta 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' a 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
Yeah
