[Verse 1]
I met an alley cat pussyfootin' around
'Til the break of dawn
Found me knocked out flat on my head
Some feline beauty waved her tail my way
I just had to stay
I couldn't get the blood off my hands
[Chorus]
She made my eyes bug out
Her tail stand up
And I ain't even in heat for a month
Meow
[Verse 2]
House cat, you really got it made
Sleepin' all night and perfect delight of day
Some feline beauty waved her tail my way
And I just had to stay
I couldn't get the blood off my bed
[Chorus]
She made my eyes bug out
Her tail stand up
And I ain't even in heat for a month
[Verse 3]
Some bad cats from 4th Street come down to our alley
Well, we say that's cool
But just stay away from me and my boys
Eyes clash and claws slash and green-eyed fur goes flyin'
Midnight, catfight, neck bite, die
[Verse 4]
When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette 'til your last dyin' day
When you're a Jet let 'em do what they can
Little boy, you got friends, you're a family man
The Jets are in gear, they're always well-respected
You're never alone when company's expected
You're well-protected
[Outro]
Here come the Jets like a bat out of Hell
Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well
When you're a Jet you stay a Jet
