Jet Song (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « West Side Story ») - Russ Tamblyn

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

When all 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

Till they cart you away

When you’re a Jet

You

Stay

Jet!

(Spoken)

(Riff)Now I know Tony like I know me

And I guarantee you can count him in

(Diesel)In out let’s get crackin'

(Action) Where you gonna find Bernardo?

(Riff)There's a dance tonight at the gym

(Baby John) But the gym is neutral territory

(Riff) I’m only gonna make nice there

I’m only gonna challenge him

(Ice) Great Daddy-O!

(Riff)Everybody dress up sweet and sharp

And meet Tony and me at 10

And walk tall!

(Action) We always walk tall!

(Ice) We’re Jets!

(Baby John) The Greatest!

(Sung)

When you’re a Jet

You’re the top cat in town

You’re the gold medal kid

With a heavy weight 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 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' a line

So keep your noses hidden

We’re hangin' a sign

Says vistors 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!
