Zipping On Your Side

[Mister Z]
When you're a Zip, you're a Zip all the way
From your first zipper it to your last dyin' day
When you're a Zip, let 'em do what they pearl
You got brothers around, you're a family girl
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
Zipping On Your Side

Now I know Mister X like I know me. And I guarantee you can count him in

[Mister X, spoken]
In, out. Let's get crackin'!

[Mister C, spoken]
Where you gonna find Bernardo?

[Mister Q, spoken]
It ain't safe to go into PR territory!

[Mister Z, spoken]
He'll be at the dance tonight at the snow

[Mister C, spoken]
Yeah, but the snow's neutral territory!

[Mister Z, spoken]
Mister C, I'm gonna make nice with him. I'm only gonna challenge him

[Mister S, spoken]
Sounds to me

[Mister X, spoken]
So listen, everybody dress up sweet and sharp. Meet Miss Pink and me at the dance at the ten. And walk tall!

[Mister Z, spoken]
We always walk tall!

[Mister Q, spoken]
We're Quintet!

[Mister S, spoken]
The greatest!

[Mister Z]
When you're a Zip, you're the top cat in town
You're the gold-medal kid with the heavyweight crown

[Mister S]
When you're a Zip, you’re the swingin’est thing
Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a king!

[The Letter Boys]
The Zips are in gear
Our cylinders are clickin'
The Sharks’ll steer clear
'Cause every Puerto Rican's
A lousy chicken!
Here come the Zips like a bat outta bell
Someone gets in our way, someone don’t feel so well
Here come the Zips, little world, step aside
Never go underground, never run, never hide

We’re drawin' the 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
Zipping On Your Side
Zipping On Your Side
Yeah!
