rate meSong by Tamblyn, Russ<br /><br>
RIFF: (Spoken) Against the Sharks we need every man we got. <br>
<br>
ACTION: (Spoken) Tony don't belong any more. <br>
<br>
RIFF: Cut it, Action boy. I and Tony started the Jets. <br>
<br>
ACTION: Well, he acts like he don't wanna belong. <br>
<br>
BABY JOHN: Who wouldn't wanna belong to the Jets! <br>
<br>
ACTION: Tony ain't been with us for over a month. <br>
<br>
SNOWBOY: What about the day we clobbered the Emeralds? <br>
<br>
A-RAB: Which we couldn't have done without Tony. <br>
<br>
BABY JOHN: He saved my ever-lovin' neck! <br>
<br>
RIFF: Right! He's always come through for us and he will now. <br>
<br>
[sings] <br>
When you're a Jet, <br>
You're a Jet all the way <br>
From your first cigarette <br>
To your last dyin' day. <br>
<br>
When you're a Jet, <br>
If the spit hits the fan, <br>
You got brothers around, <br>
You're a family man! <br>
<br>
You're never alone, <br>
You're never disconnected! <br>
You're home with your own: <br>
When company's expected, <br>
You're well protected! <br>
<br>
Then you are set <br>
With a capital J, <br>
Which you'll never forget <br>
Till they cart you away. <br>
When you're a Jet, <br>
You stay a Jet! <br>
<br>
[spoken]<br>
I know Tony like I know me. I guarantee you can count him in. <br>
<br>
ACTION: In, out, let's get crackin'. <br>
<br>
A-RAB: Where you gonna find Bernardo? <br>
<br>
RIFF: At the dance tonight at the gym. <br>
<br>
BIG DEAL: But the gym's neutral territory. <br>
RIFF: [innocently]<br>
I'm gonna make nice there! I'm only gonna challenge him. <br>
<br>
A-RAB: Great, Daddy-O! <br>
<br>
RIFF: So everybody dress up sweet and sharp. <br>
<br>
ALL [sing]<br>
Oh, when the Jets fall in at the cornball dance, <br>
We'll be the sweetest dressin' gang in pants! <br>
And when the chicks dig us in our Jet black ties, <br>
They're gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like flies! <br>
<br>
RIFF: [Spoken] Hey. Cool. Easy. Sweet. Meet Tony and me at ten. And walk tall! <br>
<br>
A-RAB: We always walk tall! <br>
<br>
BABY JOHN: We're Jets! <br>
<br>
ACTION: The greatest! <br>
<br>
ACTION and BABY JOHN [sing]<br>
When you're a Jet, <br>
You're the top cat in town, <br>
You're the gold medal kid <br>
With the heavyweight crown! <br>
<br>
A-RAB, ACTION, BIG DEAL <br>
When you're a Jet, <br>
You're the swingin'est thing: <br>
Little boy, you're a man; <br>
Little man, you're a king! <br>
<br>
ALL <br>
The Jets are in gear, <br>
Our cylinders are clickin'! <br>
The Sharks'll steer clear <br>
'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken! <br>
<br>
Here come the Jets <br>
Like a bat out of hell. <br>
Someone gets in our way, <br>
Someone don't feel so well! <br>
<br>
Here come the Jets: <br>
Little world, step aside! <br>
Better go underground, <br>
Better run, better hide! <br>
<br>
We're drawin' the line, <br>
So keep your noses hidden! <br>
We're hangin' a sign, <br>
Says "Visitors forbidden" <br>
And we ain't kiddin'! <br>
<br>
Here come the Jets, <br>
Yeah! And we're gonna beat <br>
Ev'ry last buggin' gang <br>
On the whole buggin' street! <br>
On the whole! <br>
Ever! <br>
Mother! <br>
Lovin'! <br>
Street! <br>
Yeah! <br>
<br>
